Therefore my work-around is to lock the machine (via CTRL+ALT+DEL, click on 'Lock this computer') before switching away. Registers a bogus mouse click (or possibly keyboard press) which can have unwanted effects (it tends to close the window with the focus, or press a browser 'back' button). However sometimes when switching back, the system I have noticed that if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click the left mouse button, then click on the 'Cancel' button on screen, the desktop will return and both the keyboard & mouse behave normally again. Initially I thought the computer had locked up or frozen, but that's not the case. The mouse pointer continues to move, but most things cannot be clicked on (the taskbar is one example - eg hover over the system tray icons and theyĭo not highlight and clicking has no effect). TheĪs others have reported, when you switch away from Win7 and back again, the mouse stops working properly. The physical keyboard & mouse are PS/2, but connection to my new laptop docking station has to be via the KVM USB ports as there are no legacy PS/2 ports on the docking station.

My KVM is a Belkin F1DS104T SOHO Series 4-Port KVM (USB & PS/2). So MS, don't try to tell us that it isn't have a similar issue, and a possible work-around.

If I could find a way to STOP Win7 from trying to install drivers for the devices I think they would be fine under generic minimal support after all THEY WORK UNTIL WINDOWS TRIES TO INSTALL DRIVERS - Which then fraks it all up.

Works on boot up for about 10 seconds, until Win7 tries to install the driver for the device, which it fails at, then the keyboard and the Logitech trackman marble go dead. YEP it still works.īut the Windoze 7 x 64 machine. The Macintosh works great even with a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard until Intellitype 8.2! So I think that PROVES the KVM is doing its job. So I went out and bought a US$200 IOgear USB DDM, DVI 4 port switch. Same issue: KVMs (3 different ones) worked fine until Win7ult 64 bit. Yeah I know the thread is old, but what the heck, maybe someone is still subscribed to it. Let me know how you get on (if you have not already sorted something) I know this is not a solution per say, but perhaps worth a try, a cheap USB mouse to potentially fix those hours of annoyance! After switching to and from it the mouse and keyboard attached to the switch2 continued to work, I assume this is due to there always being a mouse present and functional? I (at first) put this down to a difference in the 64bit version of windows 7.Īfter numerous restarts, I realized that my laptop could be fine as there is a mouse and keyboard attached at all times (as it's a laptop), I decided to find an old USB mouse I had lying around, and plug it directly into my desktop PC. when switching to and from the laptop everything remained to function without any problems, but the desktop did the exact same thing as you have seen.

I have a windows 7 64bit desktop and a windows 7 32bit laptop. I realize that a lot of time has passed since you originally posted this, however I too have recently experienced the same issue with the Belkin switch2. btw same version of Win7 64bit release version (installed just a couple days after release) There is no new firmware YET for the KVM. I suspect it is some bad communications between the Avocent and Win7, but i am not sure what, i know win7 is doing something, but that does not mean that avocent couldn't put out afirmware to correct the issue. Also if i unplug and plug the keyboard back into the KVM the issue clears up (untill i switch again) and i can use the keyboard, however if i unplug the USB cable going from the KVM to the computer the issues does NOT clear up. I have noticed if i wait at the win7 system for a minute it pops up saying USB device has malfunctions and/or is not recognized. It always worked fine with Win 2k and Winxp, but now with Win7 when i switch back and forth keyboard stops working, but the mouse keeps working. I am using the USB 'hub' that is built into the KVM because it fully supports the mouse and keyboards special features where as the 2 usb ports for keyboard/mouse do not on the switch. Same issue here, i have an Avocent DVI 2port KVM, using a G15 keyboard and a Gx1000 Lazer mouse (both logitech).
