Toggle to switch between computers, using - keyboard and same monitor
Posted: Oct 06, 2014
Think someone here gave me the name of a gizmo I could use to toggle between 2 computers using the same keyboard and monitor but cannot remember the name. Anyone here know? Thanks.

What you're looking for is a KVM Switch (keyboard, video, mouse). They're pretty affordable (typically under $30).
You'll want to make sure that any KVM you buy has the right ports for your setup. Specifically, you should be using the same kinds of ports on both computers. For example, if your keyboard is USB on one, it should be on the other, instead of PS/2.

Yes, it's called a KVM switch. I use this to go from my work computer to my home computer. On some of my accounts, I am not able to access the internet because of server firewall issues. I have a Belkin SOHO that works great. The sound works too!

I would hate for that to happen and perhaps lose work. Thanks. ...

New To ASR/Told Had To Switch To ME By 07/01 Jun 30, 2010I am sweating this out, as everyone else has, and it is not working for me.

I don't know when to use F11.

Not To Smart With Computers Jan 08, 2011Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...

DQS, etc? I was hoping to use my own computer, which is a much more powerful computer than this outdate POS I have from MQ; I think it's the reason I have so many probs in DQS--the worst being the lag in typing....I have to constantly wait for what I have typed to "catch up" with me.......so annoying. Not to mention takes forever to upload a job, etc.
But wondering if we are tec ...

Fiesa And XP Computers, Etc Apr 04, 2014Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer. As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company. It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected. There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.
