Good for you! I am glad you find what I write so interesting. Sorry but
I do not read all of yours.

Start reading what is said. My views on security coincide with the
vast majority of those who post here. I certainly do not believe
that all problems are caused by malware. Just read a few of my many
posts and perhaps you might stop spreading misinformation.

I read all the posts in this thread and others. What's more, I have

and prefer not to. I have never had a virus. I would completely
disregard advice to install security software.
You appear to believe all problems are caused by viruses or malware.
The OP has every right to
consider advice as being non relevant and seek other ideas or
suggestions. If you said jump in the lake to a group of people, why
would you get disturbed if they don't do it?
I.E. Why do you think only your side of the coin is correct?

That point of view is quite reasonable in most situations. However,
if you studied past posts to this thread and another you might
start to appreciate the other side of the coin. When advice has
been freely given, to ask for further advice on the basis that
previous
advice is put to one side as not relevant is going a step too far.
This is especially so when the other person is disregarding advice
to install security software where there is none. It is my choice
not to offer further advice just as the other person has the choice
not to accept advice. Feel free to offer advice to someone who
doesn't appreciate the
importance of making adequate security arrangements and expects you
to help resolve a problem with the way his computer works.

Why bother asking for advice if you have no intention of taking
it. You have read about an obscure situation and are moulding to
fit your own situation. There is a saying "Manage the simple
problems well and the complicated ones take care of themselves."
That could be a lesson you still have to learn!
Installing security is an elementary first step all users need to
take when they acquire a computer. Malware is not only
transferred by connecting to the internet, although that is
predominant way today. Before the internet was in common use
malware was transferred by an infected floppy disk. People use
to virus check floppy disks before use. --

Thank you but I think I found what is causing the problem
I was reading more about kvm sitches which was what I suspected
to be problem I found 3 different links from which I am posting
the relevant text
"· Mechanical KVM switches often lose the keyboard and mouse on
closed computer port channels, which results in errors that
require you to restart the affected computer."
"The Linksys KVM, like other electronic KVM switches, is able
to "buffer" the transfer from one computer to the other so that
there is no damage to your computers. Also, this KVM remembers
the settings of each computer so that your computer or operating
system won't suddenly hang or crash because it thinks the
keyboard, monitor, and mouse have been detached (a problem with
the mechanical switch boxes)" "One limitation of mechanical KVM
switches is that any computer not
currently selected by the KVM switch does not 'see' a keyboard
or mouse connected to it. In normal operation this is not a
problem, but while the machine is booting up it will attempt to
detect its keyboard and mouse and either fail to boot or boot
with an unwanted (e.g. mouseless) configuration"
That last one was from Wikipedia and that one really pinpointed
the problem exactly
Because the computer was so slow I would turn it on and let it
boot up but sometimes I don't want to wait 2 minutes so while
it is booting I would switch back to the other computer and do
other things then when I think it if it finished
booting I would switch back and everything seems fine until I
press something on the keyboard
I was able to verify it by doing exactly that so I can repeat
the problem
So the fix is to wait until the computer is booted into windows
before using the kvm switch

The security software is readily downloadable with no cost
implications.
