Strange mouse (or browser) behaviour in IE6 on a Dell 8300: whenever I scroll 'up' using the mousewheel the browser goes 'back' to previous web page.
I'm using a MS Wireless Optical Mouse with Intellipoint 5.0 driver connected via PS/2 port through a Belkin SOHO KVM switch - three other PCs (a Sony, a Medion and a homebuilt special) connected through the KVM switch do not exhibit these symptoms.
I've turned off smooth scrolling in IE6 and even uninstalled the Intellipoint driver/utility, but to no avail. Another symptom that might be relevant is that the Dell occasionally fails to recognise the mouse on a cold boot or reboot if it is the 'active' system, but always does so if another PC is the active system.
I've tried bypassing the KVM switch by connecting mouse and keyboard direct to the Dell and (you guessed it) no problems. <sigh>. Looks like the problem is between the Dell and the KVM - any ideas on how to resolve it, people?

No, I had this same problem myself with this exact mouse even connected directly to the box
I've since gone with a Microsoft Optical wired instead without any issues
