It's a cheap switch box, they don't work correctly with all screens. The sad part is that the oldest, most basic VGA switch boxes supported 4 inputs (plus KB & mouse) and almost never had these problems. You can get these from newegg for very cheap (look for one with a rotary dial on the front, like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/2way-AB-Switch-...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item439afed774 )
