KVM Switch Problem

[deadwar]

Hey guys, this is also my first post on here so Hi lol.

Anyway, I have a 2-Port Belkin KVM switch with USB. Now, whenever I flick the switch over to the 360 so it works on the monitor, within a few seconds it takes me back to the PC, without notice. I can't stop this, and its really annoying, does anyone have any suggestions please! Oh and when I click switch by using the software, my scroll lock flashes on my keyboard??

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

What is happening is that it is going back to your computer cause you aren't telling it stay on the XBOX what you need to do is when using the software and the scroll lock flashes just push ESC on the keyboard. that will lock it to the xbox and it won't swtich back over. There should also be some short cut keys your can press on the keyboard that will change it over as well. Just always make sure you push the escape key after switching over, so that it locks it.

Hope this helps

Well when I somehow got my Belkin to work for five minutes, the picture quality was superb, but reliability wise I'm not to sure.

Sorry for a triple post, but this needs bumping instead of editing - today I do exactly what i did yesterday to get the switch working, when I click switch scroll lock flashes, I click ESC but now nothing happens.

EDIT - Ok now when I click ESC it does take me to the 360, but doesn't stick.
