The copy that I am using cannot. I see no option for that in settings.
If it did, I imagine it could get very confusing.
Wanna have some fun? Set your wife's laptop as secondary and watch her try to play on Pogo in the next room. It was sooo funny. She almost trough a $1200 laptop out the window.

No it can't. What are you looking to accomplish? Maybe a forum regular can suggest a way for you to do it.

Multiplicity *almost* does what you want.
It depends on how you define "switch"
MP runs on two PCs, each with their own monitor but with a shared mouse and keyboard.
By moving your mouse from monitor to monitor that PC gets focus.

So . . you are still doing "switch-move-switch-move" but much more seamless than manual KVM switches.

I can play two games at once, But its a bitch keeping up. I have a G15 key board and use a macro to one button switch back and forth. Its extremely fast but I only play cards. I dont Play the fast shootem up type games.

I am looking for this solution so that I can use my umpc as a control for my second computer. the desktop for example looks the same on both machines, so I click (in this case its a touch screen) the start menu on the umpc, and the start menu on both the umpc and the desktop opens. If Mutiplicity can't do this, does anybody know a program that does.


Thanks,

Kaeton

MP can't.  I have never heard of anything that can.

You would pretty much have to remote in for something that heavy. That many functions would limit input and would kill the smooth usage of Multiplicty. This is a guess of course but I think I am right. Sorry to say I too have heard of nothing that could do this.

I would still recommend messing with the free trial to find out if you can find some kind of compromise.
