Confused [SOLVED] KVM Switch issue

I have connected a KVM (KYS 102, cheap) switch, one system is running Windows 2K pro and one system is running Windows XP Pro. I have a HP 1740 LCD monitor connected to the switch. Everything works fine on the XP computer, the monitor will give me "Input Signal out of range" when I switch over to the other computer and goes to sleep before I can really do anything. Mouse and keyboard seem to be fine. Not very tech savy, but would appreciate any help.

Re: KVM Switch issue

does monitor work when directly attached? Sounds like a refresh rate or resolution mismatch.

PCI-E requires 26 amps at 12 volts. That's a 650W PSU.

sounds right for an LCD. LCD's only like 60 hz. I too used to run all my CRT's at 85...LCD's dont like that very much.
