I have a desk top computer with no monitor. I have a lap top. I wanted to use a KVM switch to connect my lap top monitor to be used with my desk top. I went to Compusa, but they said I can not use the lap top monitor for my desk top. Is that true? If it is what is my solution? I really don't want to buy a monitor...
Thanks
I think they are right but do not know why for sure
might be how the signals work through the laptop
You cannot use your laptop display in a KVM configuration, however, if you are on a network, you can connect to the desktop and display back to the laptop, as if it were the console. It's called remote desktop. Search for "mstsc.exe" on your C: drive, then double click on it. It will ask you for the remote machine name. Very cool.
Ardi, did you ever try this?
help me too
I've been looking for a solution to this myself, i have 2 lap top monitors i detached from a dell inspiron 8200, and im looking for an adaptor that i can connect the laptop's monitor switch into a desktop computer switch... any help?
