Microsoft Garage looks a lot like the next step from the initial Microsoft’s Shell Development Team, responsible for Microsoft PowerToys, a set of freeware system utilities for power users, first developed for Windows 95, of which I used two quite regularly: Tweak UI, a graphical user interface to edit the registry, and SyncToy, a free and easy-to-use graphical user interface for synchronizing files and folders in Windows versions XP, Vista and 7 that for many years I used to create automatic backups.

Developed by Truong Do, it is a Microsoft Garage project, and it was relaunched March 2018, as one of the highlights of The Garage Wall of Fame, which shows some of the most compelling projects that got their start in the Microsoft Garage. Garage projects are side projects that Microsoft employees like Truong build for fun on their nights and weekends. Mouse without Borders is not a new program, as in fact, it was first launched in 2011, under the name Magic Mouse. Here, I want to share information about the “software KVM” I am using, which is Mouse without Borders, available FREE from Microsoft and able to control up to 4 computers running Windows.

Also, if you work with computers with different OSs, you may want to look at programs like Synergy. You may want to Google after names as ShareMouse, Synergy, Input Director or Stardock Multiplicity to get an idea of the solutions available and which one best fits your needs. Software KVMs will, in many cases, be an excellent solution, and the market has a whole series of such KVMs, some free for personal use, but most of them costing somewhere between $20 and $50 or more. Hardware KVMs have evolved, but so have software solutions that allow to have similar functionality. Adapters USB to PS/2 appeared later, but then I was already used to having two keyboards and two mice on my desktop and did not bother to check if a compatible KVM was available. Thanks for your time and understanding!įor more details, please look at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum.Hardware KVMs are designed for a specific type of connection, so, years ago, when I changed one of my computers for a new machine, the USB ports present instead of the dedicated keyboard and mouse connectors forced me to stop using my trusty KVM, as it could not be used with the different connections for keyboard, mouse and video.

Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed you might wait or push the device manufacturer to upgrade its driver.

In addition, you can use the Windows XP driver for testing. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties and select the Compatibility tab click the checkbox before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box then try installing the device driver via Run as administrator. If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode.

In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error.

Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version.

Note : Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. If you meet some problems lacking of some device driver, you might go to Device Manager, right click your hardware device in the list and select Update Driver Software then click Search automatically for updated driver software or directly download the latest driver from Microsoft Update Catalog.
