    Is my KVM Switch Fucking up???? or am I going nuts.

    I have 4 pc's hooked up to 1 17inch CRT monitor.


    Everytime I switch to another pc.

    If I press 1 letter or # My mouse and keyboard will FREEZE!!

    but the pc will still run like nothing is wrong. I can cycle though all 4 PC's and come back to the same one and it's still frozen?

    How can I fix this?

    I have 4 video cards ranging from GEforce FX 5200 and 5600 128DDR and 1 256DDR I also have Radeon 9200 SE video card.


    Can it be screen size???

    It's a 60.00 KVM Switch I got off ebay....

      can it be that you are too cheap to buy 3 more monitors?

        I have 3 more CRT's but I don't like the fact my room can exceed 100 Degrees and having 3 More CRT's Or even 4 LCD's total can fuck up your eletrical system. As well as my battery backup.

            You may have to power the kvm off, I've had some older ones lockup like that.

            I'm in the same boat...4 pc's - triple monitors on my workstation, third monitor swaps out on the kvm. It's a Belkin USB kvm and it has worked flawlessly for over 2 yrs...
