So i'm trying to set up my first 2 box that is i have 2 computers. I'm looking for the best program to broadcast key and mouse from one to the other.

I have been using octopus and i can get it to work but it seems to randomly quit working or certain parts of it won't work. I've deleted it and reinstalled it like 5 times after it quits working. Sometimes it will make my mouse freeze up. Sometimes the keys won't broadcast when i have keybroadcasting turned on, even though i can move the mouse between screens. I've got it working with guides i've found on the wiki but just have a lot of trouble.

SO would anyone suggest synergy? I'm am looking for a program that does the same if not more octopus that is easy to use(i'm not great at computers but i can usually figure stuff out). I'm looking for help getting it to work constantly. I'm thinking i should probably just install xp on my vista, seems like that networking the two together is not working very wall.

Thanks
