Trying to connect Mac and PC to one monitor
I connected both my PC and my Mac to a monitor switch so I could use one monitor (Lacie monitor). The Mac screen appears to have a drop shadow (there are no problems when I switch to the PC screen). I tried switching the cables with no luck. This "ghosting" does not happen when the monitor cable is plugged directly into the Mac instead of being routed through the switch. Help, please! Thanks. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

Try using the box with the PC off. See if the problem is still there. Also try switching the positions of the two cables. Do this and report back. It could be that the PC video card just pumps out more current and thus is buffered against the interference while causing some for the mac, but I doubt it.
check out belkin's line of KVM switches.
