    Got the VGA cable for me 360 a couple of days ago, working swimmingly, but, after hooking my 360 into my pc monitor, it won't work with my pc anymore. It gets as far as the windows is loading screen (just before it goes onto my desktop pic), then the picture goes dead. Anyone know if the 360 has changed some setting on the screen, or is it just fooked?
