I had some elaborate setup which cost me a couple hundred dollars. It was painful to setup. Cables everywhere. Attempted to handle 2 LAPTOPS dockef in port replicators. Dual monitors USB all in one. It only worked sometimes. I eventually dismantled it in favor of swapping the laptops in and out of a single port replicator as in reality I did not need to switch back and forth as much as I thought. AND NOW MY WORK AREA IS MUCH CLEANER. I found it very hard to locate a good kvm and usb solution. Good luck. There are probably ways that using remoteware one computer can just see what the other is doing and control it but I do t know if they require identical OSes. I do think that since I was running an office (GE) laptop over a VPN that I could not find a way last I checked to have one remote into the other. Dont mean to hijack this thread but when I hear kvm, vm, and remoteware solutions being discussed I get multi-environment envy... cuz I never seem to get the best of all worlds when I work. ...grabled by smrat phonn as ususl On Nov 25, 2012 9:37 PM, "jack drawbridge" <jackandpat.d at gmail.com> wrote: > The box you're talking about is called a KVM switch. > > > On Sun, Nov 25, 2012 at 7:46 PM, Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com > >wrote: > > > I run 32-bit Office in a 64-bit system.
