>I have a question that you may be able to answer. (Or anyone else, for that matter). The new computer arrived and is set up. There is just one little mystery. I swapped it in for the PC that was there, which is several years old. I connected it to the current main PC through a KVM switch. The weird thing is it recognizes the mouse and keyboard, which come out of the KVM on a single USB connection. They work fine. But the main monitor is not recognized by the new PC. The second monitor has a DVI connection and it recognizes that on a straight connection, no problem, so that is how it is set up now. I would prefer connecting both monitors to the new PC. Do you think the problem is more likely to be the KVM or something about Windows 8? Or something else?

>I guess I could run the main monitor straight in and see if that works, and will do that. Just wondered if something would jump out at you. Oh, the KVM is made by Trendnet.

Maybe you need to run the monitor straight in first to get Win8 to load the drivers, otherwise it may be seeing the KVM feed as generic. Try straight in first and when that works run it in again through the KVM.,

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
