usb keyboards can handle more keys being pressed at one time, where as ps/2 port keyboards can only handle 2 or so. could be your problem.

ah!
Quite possibly then.

I have 2 PCs with a KVM switch inbetween, converted the USB keyboard and mouse to PS/2

bugger!

I am not sure it does.
my Device manager is showing 1 game controller not 2

FIXED

now i havent got 2 PCs i took out the belkin KVM and put the keyboard and mouse into the USB ports, and the problem went away.

so yes the PS/2 ports can't hold that much information, USB ports can.

cheers all
