Mouse and keyboard not recognized on second computer
I'm using the kvm switch with two computers running Windows XP Pro. The switch works only if computer 1 is turned on before computer 2. If I turn on only computer 2, neither the keyboard nor mouse work. If I turn on 1, then 2, and turn off one after 2 has booted, then the mouse and keyboard work.
If I unplug computer 1 from the kvm switch, I still have no keyboard or mouse on 2.
If I plug the mouse, keyboard and monitor directly into computer 2, everything works fine.
Reversing the kvm plugs on computers 1 and 2 makes no difference to the above problem.

Pls select to problem side and scan the keyboard detecting in the deviice manager. if mouse not work plug mouse ,not key board direct to problem pc to access the device manager.
if not solved pls connect inputs connected to KVM 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 port( exchange). if now problem change to other pc ,pls change cable connected to problem pc and test.
Try hitting the following keys in succession and your KVM should reset the keyboard and mouse interface and allow them to work:
Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + End
I have a solution for this problem which I posted previously:

SOLUTION: I turn on computer 2 and THEN computer 1. Computer 2 displays the CapLock and ScrollLock and then the NumLock lights. When the NumLock lightis on, I press the Numlock key to turn the light off, and then I shut down computer 2. Then computer 1 boots with access to the mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
Solution for the mouse. I have 8 KVM's. Most of my computers work with the KVMs. On 1 inland KVM the logitect and Microsoft optical mice do not work on one computer (but work with the other computers). They both are USB. I hook them up with a USB to PS2 adapter. If I use a ps2 ball mouse connected to the KVM the mouse works. All the Mice work if I directly connect them. Since I do not want a ball mouse I got a Frisby optical PS2 mouse. It works with all the computers on the KVM's.
I do not have a solution for the Keyboard yet. 1 computer (ASUS MB) on my trendnet or belkin 4 postion KVM does not recognize the keyboard.
Sounds like KVM has a bug. Maybe their website has a fix.
hit "scroll lock + scroll lock + end" and the keyboard and mouse connections will reset and work
