Computer ?'s

psychographic · 07-07-2008, 12:20 PM

I have two PC's connected using a KVM switch, one I want to be dedicated for running my signmaking program and the other for everything else.

When I switch between them, I have to reset the monitor as one is set to far to the right by about a 1/4" or so. I hate to have to reset the monitor each time, is there a setting somewhere that I can center the screen on the PC? I don't want to shrink the screen down if I can avoid it, the larger the better for doing my design work.

My next question is, what is the cheapest, yet reliable way to share my scanner and printer for both of these PC's? Both connect through USB ports. Is there an A/B switch available that would work for me?

I use these at work.
Connect 2 PCs to 1 Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse KVM Switch

I already have a KVM switch.

Sorry, I saw that but did not process the info.

Are you resolution the same on both machines? Send me the model of your KVM so i can look up the specs.
I'm assuming your monitor does not have auto image adjustment.

The KVM is a Lynksis, I'll have to pull the wires out to get the model number.

Me being a Cheapa$$, I'm sure I did'nt buy a monitor with auto image adjustment.

I'll check on the resolution, I'm pretty sure they are the same.
