Hey Craig,
I have to ask if the KVM switch box you have connected is a mechanical =
switch box or an electrical switch box? Is it non-powered A-B =
mechanical switch box that you have to turn the dial selector from PC-A =
to PC-B or is it a A/C powered push-button switch box that might allow =
for polling and daisy chaining another KVM? If I had to guess, you =
probable have the cheaper $20 to $50 KVM switch boxes that are =
mechanical. Also, does the computer screen change positions when you =
switch between PCs? The problem sounds similar to a problem I had that =
caused me to replace a computer after the motherboard was fried from =
switching back and forth and I had to buy the better quality electrical =
switch box KVM from Belkin.
