MSNwar Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I need an XP application (perferably endorsed by Microsoft and compatiable with XP) that will allow me to click and select the PC so I can view it on my single monitor.The setup is two PCs sharing one monitor with the use of a switch box. When I want to switch between the PCs I toggle a switch. It would be nice to select the PC using an icon in my task bar. I would appreciate any suggestions.Oh, the PCs are NOT on a lan now, but will be tomorrow I hope.Yea, I am a lazy bastiage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThA_FiLeR Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I doubt that would be possible with what you have, might need a special switch box that hooks up to both pc monitor outputs and then a usb cable or whatever that hooks up to both for switching it w/ software, I'm not sure if that's available, but I expect there to be one for lazy ppl like u.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zivan56 Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 You need a digital kvm switch if you dont want to damage the hardware, dont buy analog ones as they are equivilent of ripping the keyboard/video/mouse out of one pc thats running and plugging it into another pc that is running. You cant control it by software, only by special keyboard key combo's or a button on the switch, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
