ZP, Vista and KVM
Posted by Bill on June 17th, 2008


Is anyone using a KVM switch between an XP PC and a Vista PC that actually
works and doesn't cost a huge amount?

My monitor and both PCs have VGA and DVI connections. The keyboard and
mouse are the common Microsoft Wireless Comfort keyboard 1.0A and Wireless
Optical Mouse 2.0 which connect via a USB plug on a Microsoft Optical
Desktop receiver. The receiver also has a blue PS2 plug which does NOT have
to be connected to either of the PCs for the KB and M to work perfectly.

Is a KVM switch likely to cause problems if I set up a network of any sort?

Regards,

Bill

It didn't strike me as that hugely off-topic, you little charmer, you.

Ignore the troll, Bill. This seems like a very reasonable question that may
be interesting to a large part of this community.

I don't have an answer, but maybe someone else here does. FWIW, I'm thinking
about using Remote Desktop instead of a KVM.
