Sounds like my suspicion may be correct then. A different mouse may work just fine with the 8 port Belkin. And since you are using a wireless mouse that may present the same kind of problems with the 4 port version. May have to check out how much an MS Intelimouse runs and give that a try. Thanks for the tip.
