j.,
LOL! Yes, I will re-test this suspect mouse per your suggestions.
A bit tough due to client orientations, but doable.
My old server uses w2kserver-sp4. All my other clients are XPsp3.
And, all were patched on 8/12/09. This mouse thing was just because I went looking and found the new IntelliPoint wrapper. I feel like I have yet again violated Rule#1. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!"
Also replied back-channel.
Thank you for your help.

Always suspect the last thing you installed. Of course test it directly attached, no KVM, hub, extensions, etc...

Assuming v7 is spec'd for Win2K (this is the OS you're using?) and still dead mouse, I'd then suspect the mouse is too old for the driver, this further assuming you've tested V7 on another system with this mouse.

Re-booted via kbd commands! (thank you maccrawj!!!)

Should I suspect the MS driver 1st? Or, should I suspect the cheap (oem) MS optical wheel mouse? They were only ~$15 from Newegg 3 months ago!

Not a trick question at all. So far, the suspect "dead" MS mouse seems to work just fine on another machine that also has a SwitchView KVM switch.
(This I did NOT expect!!!)
