[QUOTE="shorns76, post: 596430, member: 87517"] Gonna take a punt here and assume you're all using win 7 (these problems are infequent on vista and XP didn't have them at all)..... Seems to be a fairly big problem although it actually took me ages to find out anything about it. I use ATI and first thought it was hardware specific but it appears it's related to windows 7 and the way it protects blu-ray content, requiring all your hardware to constantly broadcast EDID signals even during standby, or it'll disable them until you restart (so you can't swap from a display to a recording device during protected content playback). My projector (an epson) doesn't and it's a massive pain in the arse - disabling driver specific hardware monitoring sometimes solves some of the problems but from what I can see no one solution fixes every problem related to it and Microsoft don't appear in a hurry to solve the issue. Doesn't help much but at least it gives you more info about what is going on. The initial post that got me onto all this is here: [url=http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/84f41660-1933-4109-9b13-1ea8a1c27be7]KVM switch + Windows 7 creates monitor switching nightmare[/url] a post from a guy called Xenubite suggests a workaround but I haven't tried it yet so will let you know how it goes soon Sean [/QUOTE]
