Ok, I'm running the RTM Vista Business Enterprise on my primary computer. The laptop is in a docking station with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse all attached through a KVM.

When I switch to a different machine my laptop detects that the external monitor is no longer attached. This causes all windows I have positioned on the external monitor to switch back to the laptop display.

Is there any way to disable this? It's rather annoying, to have to move windows back to the other screen when I switch back to my laptop on the KVM.

This was not a problem with XP.

Thanks,

Andrew

I just got a new 4 port KVM that behaves in the same way - yet my 2 port KVM works just fine. I've read some articles about this problem and it appears to be linked to Vista's handling of graphics (but no specifics).

who made the KVM?

In my case it's IOGear.
