    Control 2 computers with 1 mouse and keyboard

     
    I find Synergy sometimes doesn't want to work and Multiplicity wants cash, can anyone recommend any other programs, i will pay if Multiplicity is all there is but i doubt it..

    Thanks in advance.

    Well just to clarify, when you mention controlling two computers with one keyboard and mouse this simply can be achieved by a cheap KVM switch. However, looking into multiplicity I'm assuming the second pc will be a remote pc?
    Main PC: AMD FX-8350 / 16gb DDR3 1600 / AMD 7970GE 1200mhz Core & 1600mhz Mem / Win7 Pro 64bit
    File Server: AMD Opteron 180 / 3gb DDR400 / Nvidia 6200 / WinXP Home 32bit / Lubuntu 12.10
    Laptop: HP-Compaq nc8430/ Intel CoreDuo T2400 / 2gb DDR2 667/ Ati x1600 / WinXP Pro 32bit

    Second PC will be in the same area but i prefer the functionality of a program rather than a hardware switch.

    Here's an other solution other than a KVM. UltraVNC - VNC - Remote Support Software - Remote PC Access Service - UVNC - Free - OpenSource

    Your welcome! When I used UltraVNC instead of using one of the encryption programs I just tunneled UltraVNC's port through my SSH server in the router.
