Switch KVM 8 Windows

I've seen several questions like mine: I am trying to run a XP machine and a machine of Windows 8 through a VGA monitor.  Both machines work fine when connected directly to the monitor, and the XP machine works with an older KVM switch.  I can't find a KVM that works with Windows 8 machine.  I don't want to spend hundreds on this thing, and so far no one including Microsoft is no help.  All answers, anyone?

When I use my KVM switch, there is no signal or whatever machine that is powered, but off, other than an indicator light on the KVM

I don't know what either machine I'm starting to connected by the KVM for the monitor and etc. As soon as possible after switching on.  In the case of graphics drivers don't load correctly... as well as a few others.

Mouse and USB keyboards more probably will have questions too.

XP is much less sensitive to this for a reason, but still can end up with the graphics at 800 x 600 instead of 1280 x 1024 for example.

I don't know if it will solve your problem, but pass the KVM to the machine to win 8 before power on, or as soon as POSSIBLE and see what happens. Launch all first instead of the XP machine and see if that helps.

Also... it is possible that your switch is defective?

  • How to switch between multiple windows in the same application?

    Hello

    I use OS X Capitan version 10.11.13 and I'm trying to find an easy way to switch between multiple windows in the same application by using CTRL + alt or different keys.

    Here is what I feel...

    Let's say I have Outlook, Google Chrome, Safari, iTunes and apps 'about this Mac' open.

    I open the new message window in Outlook and another Chrome window. I have therefore 2 separate windows in Outlook and Chrome.

    With that, I'm unable to move the composition and the window main outlook which is so annoying. Let's say I want to read the emails by the prospect main window and transfer of the content of the compose window! The command + tab doesn't take me to the main window of Microsoft outlook! Even if there were the last visited / applications window. This constraint is not intuitive, unless it can be configured in the settings?

    Strangely, I can't switch to the "about this Mac" window.

    The work around is to use the function (F3) mission button and click on the window, that I want to use or click the "Outlook" application on the dock icon and choose the window in the list.

    Does anyone know how switch between different windows in the same application by using a key combination or one another method other than listed above?

    Thank you

    In general, an Application that can open multiple windows provides a "Windows menu" you can choose the window you want.

  • How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)

  • Switch KVM GCS632U - problems MS Egronomic Keyboard 4000 V1.0

    I used my v.1.1 4000 ergonomic keyboard from Microsoft and mouse between desktop Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition and a portable Windows 8 Pro via a KVM632U switch.

    The problem I have experienced recently is several times a day when you are connected to my desktop Windows 7 - keyboard and mouse will go offline for a microsecond.

    I tried to reinstall the Microsoft 4000 ergonomic keyboard v.1. driver and that didn't help. By communicating with KVM support - they recommended buying a new KVM switch or buy a new/different keyboard.

    I also tried to gain access to the Microsoft USB Fix It program-, but the links I found on Answers MS which is assume access - apparently no longer work.

    Everyone knows about this type of problem with this combo and if so, what is the resolution?

    In addition, if a new keyboard is necessary - ergonomic keyboard that you would recommend?

    Thank you for sharing your suggestion.

    However, I think that I accidentally stumbled on the REAL cause of the problem.

    My mouse.

    While using my computer the last time that was the problem - I noticed that it came immediately after I had hit my USB mouse.

    -In order to test to see if my mouse could possibly be the cause of the problem, I installed a wireless mouse that I use sometimes with my tablet.

    By doing two days of trials - so far, there was not a single occurrence of the problem using my v.1 4000 ergonomic keyboard from Microsoft. with the KVM switch. Therefore, I am led to believe that the mouse has been the real cause of the problem.

    This me intrigued, however, why there is a malfunction (apparently) USB mouse causing a problem that caused the keyboard and the mouse to go offline for a second.

    Go figure!

  • Cannot access switch GS108E on Windows 10

    After the upgrade to windows 10 I can't access my GS108E switch. Get "an error occurred communicating with the server. "Error message: HTTP request error". No idea what is the problem?

    I have reset the default switch & it works now in WIN10. Wish I could label each port so I don't know what connected to it. It's a disappointment, not knowing that I have connected to all 8 ports. I should be able to label each port with a name. This can be done? Thanks for your help. Close the case.

    The most common reasons for the lack of change user option or be grey is that group policy has been enabled to hide the option or a registry key has been changed. You can work around this problem by following the steps below:

    If missing change user, check the settings in group policy

    1. click on Start, type gpedit.msc in the Search box and click the gpedit.msc in the list of programs

    2. click on strategy Local computer, then click on computer, then click on administrative, templates , and then click System and then click on logon

    3. in the logon window, double-click hide the entry points for fast user change

    4. click on not configured, click apply , then OK

    If the user of the switch is dimmed, change the registry

    1. click the button Start , then type regedit in the Search box. In the list, click on Regedit.exe program.

    2. navigate to the following registry key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\

    3. Click to select the System

    4. double-click on the key HideFastUserSwitching and change the value from "1" to "0".

    According to the description, I understand that you are unable to change user.

    This could be due to the corrupted user profile.

    1. you will need to re-run the TV installation for the EPG again and you will need to get
    the new cablecard paired with your tuner.
     
    2. I had replaced dying standards from the same provider without loss of the
    ability to display existing records. I hope that you will have no problems.

  • Speed switch "Aero" of Windows 7 in a dual configuration monitor

    I use two monitors for the job estimating software. One is 24 "the other 47".  I have problems with switching between windows sometimes because I can't get on the side of the large monitor to the opposite side of the small monitor before her mask the window on the other.  I turned the path of the mouse to the top speed to try to beat him, but this causes the same problem, because it is easy to shoot and the TI switches again.  Is it possible to use "Aero" and slow down the speed of switching?
