TCM 0 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hello! I am running windows 10 and 7 laptops with one external screen attached to win 10 computer. I am also using F-Secure Freedome VPN and Avast Anti Virus for protection. Synergy installed okay but when I try to run it on the server I get the an error message in the log. The unknown screen name `DESKTOP-12N5KH9' is strange as I don't have such a screen name defined. It used to be this but I changed it. Is it possible that this caused the error? Can someone help me with this? Here's the log: [2017-05-18T08:51:51] INFO: watchdog status: error [2017-05-18T08:51:58] INFO: starting new process [2017-05-18T08:51:58] INFO: activeDesktop:Default [2017-05-18T08:51:58] INFO:
