Two monitors works fine, but you have to drag a time or two to cover the horizontal distance, identical to if you were using a mouse. Takes a few days to become accustomed, but works great after that.

Yes, it will work with one monitor if XP is your OS. With Win-7 I believe you have to click something on each PC. Although, because I thought I would also have to click something, I just kept moving the monitor from one to the other without a hitch. (so should work for any OS with this method) I never needed to click anything on my old pc, but on my new one I had to go to "my computer" and click on "easysuite" drive. No instruction of any kind popped up, but wasn't needed. Once you've connected the cable, you just drag what you want to your new pc. (you only need one active monitor to do this - on the new pc) If you want to go faster you can copy and paste your desktop or your documents right to the new pc. (can't drag desktop or my documents) I transferred photos, movies, etc. , didn't work on any programs such as word, but you can just re-install these. One thing to remember, depending how you connect cable, your new pc may be "local host" or "remote host", (could be either, my new one was contrary to instructions) although it's easy enough to figure out by your contents. I moved files alphabetically to keep track as I went. (many files) This worked great for me xp to xp. Just bring a magnifying glass if you need to read the instructions. Hope this helps

I have windows 7 and this product doesn't even work on my computer. I don't know if it is my computer or the product. As for your system, some of the newer systems have a program that you can open it in the win 7. If you right click on the icon, there is a trouble shoot compatibility if you bought it already, otherwise I wouldn't get it and look for a different system.

dave lasalle, Several of our configurations, using Windows 7, are available here on Amazon. How many monitors are you wanting to run at once?

If I have only 1 monitor and wish to use the cable to transfer from Windows xp on my old computer to Windows 7 on the new computer, can I use my netbook for the second monitor?

I used this to transfer from Vista to Windows 7 with no problems. You need to install the program software on windows 7 PC before using the Easy Transfer Wizard open on both PC's along with the cable and files will transfer over into place. Now my question is do I have to buy another cable especially for Windows 7 to Windows 8 or will this cable do both?

I was using it on several devices for Windows XP. There was no problem that I could see. Then converting to Windows 7 on half, it seems to be fine meshing both together.

I believe you asking if you can setup multiple monitors with in windows with this device, No, one input that is reproduced 4 times.

On my computer this lets me drag windows back an forth between two monitors. Sounds like it is what you need.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that? I have always just used one monitor for two computers.

This is only meant to mirror the picture between two displays. It will not create a second workspace or extension of your current monitor. This is meant for creating two monitors with the same picture. If you are looking to work with two monitors at the same time with different programs open on each of them. You will need either a video card with two outputs on it or two separate video cards. Does this make sense?

It allows you to run one application window in one screen and a DIFFERENT application in the other screen. And if you have two adapters, you can have three separate screens. However, some applications seem to pick the window they will run in and I don't know how to force this type to another. Please also be aware that there is a maximum resolution allowed with this device so if you have a screen and wonder why you cannot get the highest resolution this could be a reason. When running games, your other windows may stay visible but you may be restricted to working on a single screen -- in my experience, if you are able to click on one of the other windows you may pause and/or lose visibility to the games. I use a an applications which use two or more screens -- free photo editing software "the Gimp" which allows some control by moving a box to another screen so you have your picture and some parts of control in one window and some toolbars in another window which works good for me. Also for church, we use EasySlides (Easislides) -- for this application we have a main control window running on the laptop screen and two separate screens for projection -- one uses vGA connection and one uses the startech device. I hope this helps.

Not concurrently, in my experience.It will let you toggle between 2, if you have 3 connected.If you want to have a third monitor for basic 2-D stuff, you might get one of those add on USB-DVI/VGA devices, but they are CPU intensive.

Yes indeed. I am doing it right now. My older computer runs on Windows XP, but I cannot run internet on that computer any more, so I got another computer just for internet. I have two monitors, but only one keyboard and one mouse. The switch works very well, just as it is supposed to work. You can connect with me through metric pioneer if you want more details. Thanks for asking.

Yes. You have to install the windows driver software for the screen to work at all. But once you do that, as soon as you plug in the USB cable it just works, like any other dual monitor setup, including drag and drop from screen to screen.

The computer feature needs work. It doesnt work for windows 7. They do have downloads for several computer systems on their website. I had issues it converting from my monitor to my computer. Overall, this is an excellent monitor had accurate readings.
