Guest exec@chicagorsvp.com Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Hi, We have 1 PC with 2 cloned monitors. The monitors are in seperate offices, about 30 feet apart. What we need to do is to be able to have each monitor have it's own keyboard & mouse to control the screen. We are running XP. My questions are: 1) Can you do thing with Windows configuration, or some type of inexpensive software or hardware. 2) Since the monitors are cloned, I assume that what happens on one happens on the other. 3) If we wanted 2 seperate monitors on the same PC, what is involved in that? If I could get some help, it would really be appreciated. Thanks!

Go to an electronics store and get a KVM switch which will allow two keyboards/mice for one computer. You'll probably have to get an extension so that it can be used 30 feet away. I trust there are no walls in that 30 foot span. Note that only one keyboard/mouse can be used at a time and you can toggle between the two. Alias
