PS/2 mice pause in 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3 (safe mode too) and 7 PE liveCD...

Hello!

Does anyone know why my PS/2 mice, with its USB adapter (Logitech and
eMachine), like to pause on my new EVGA X58 SLI (132-BL-E758; BIOS date
5/11/2010; v6.00 PG; release number IX58SZ64) motherboard in 32-bit
Windows? I never had this problem with my other older motherboards with
pure PS/2 connections, but this new motherboard only has a PS/2 keyboard
port so I was forced to use a USB adapter for the mouse. The reason for
a PS/2 mouse is because I use a KVM to share my monitor, mouse, and
keyboard. I already eliminated the cables and KVM switch box to see
where the pauses are coming from. They're not from KVM and its cables.


My PS/2 mice likes to pause in 32-bit Windows. Rear ports seems to pause
way more than the front. The pauses can cause randomly and every few
seconds. I also tried different adapter cables beside different PS/2
mice. I can reproduce this in both 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP3 (safe mode
too) and 7 PE liveCD.

I was not able to reproduce it with a KNOPPIX v6.4.4 liveCD, but I did
notice these USB errors in dmesg command:

Does Windows not reset USB device or something? I also tried Logitech
Mouseware, but that didn't seem to help either.

Thank you in advance.

Quote of the Week: "The foreign policy aim of ants can be summed up as
follows: restless aggression, territorial conquest, and genocidal
annihilation of neighboring colonies whenever possible. If ants had
nuclear weapons, they would probably end the world in a week." --Journey
