3.Make sure that all of the settings are set to the same as those on the Target Server/Computer.
For Windows NT4, 98, ME, 2000 (If Mouse Properties were ever changed for the Target Server – even if they have been returned to their original state) uncheck the default - Default box.

Troubleshooting Tips
If the mouse pointers do not align after following the Calibration and Manual Mouse Settings instructions above, try the following:
Verify that the Enhanced Pointer Precision Box in the Mouse Settings Window of the computer/server you are trying to access is unselected. If this box is checked, Mouse Synchronization will not work.
If the Video Noise Level is above zero, calibration may not work. Go to Video Adjustment and try to eliminate the noise by pressing Auto video adjust and/ or adjusting the bars in Manual video adjust.
Although the chart at the back of this owner’s manual shows all of the compatible resolutions and their corresponding refresh rates, there are instances when lowering the refresh rate will help synchronize mouse pointers. If your mouse pointers are not aligning, and you notice a black bar on the top or side of the Remote Computer Screen Border, the Video may need to be manually adjusted or you may need to set the Target Server/Computer at a lower refresh rate.
Try changing out the Cat5 cable connecting the Target Server/Computer to the KVM switch or use N105 series STP cable by Tripp Lite. Any noise that exists in a faulty cable can have a negative impact on mouse synchronization.
Try changing out the SIU being used to connect the Target Server/Computer to the KVM switch.
