Try a lower resolution or refresh rate. Outside of better cables or KVM there is not simple fix. Be sure the cables are snug.
Also, why not a remote access tool like TightVNC? It's free.

Two machines, both running XP Home: HP 9870 pavilion, HP a730n. Both are hooked together with an Iogear KVM switch.
This set up has been doing well.
Today, the HP 9870 side has begun to look fuzzy, as if the text and graphics are streaking across the screen. Everything is readable, but this isn't the usual "ghosting" that can be part of KVM.
The a730n side is crystal clear and seems unchanged.
So, I moved the monitor directly to the 9870.
Same fuzzy appearance.
Suggestions? Video card going bad??
If so, recommendations?
