721055	2008-11-18 00:23:00	I used to use an "analog" kvm switch, between my pc and mac. no problems using them with both running at once. I now have gone digital, with a new Dag 12 kvm switch, between my old XP pc, and a new Vista pc. I now find I cannot run both on at once. The xp machine runs fine, but the Vista has some interference problems, and flicks on and off, or has continuous background "interference", (like car static on a TV.). I can only run the Vista machine, with the other pc off. Is this normal? or is there a cure?	carlwatson (10011)
