ggvmjm Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Synergy was installed on 3 laptops (setup is the server first, to the left of the server the client and to the left of the client another client). I'm mostly working on the middle client. It was working well for about a day then the mouse started to lag or skip for about 3 seconds. Currently, the server stops and I need to stop Synergy on the server and clients in order to get Synergy working again. I've had to restart yesterday 3 times during the day. Can anyone make any suggestions how to make this work properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Do you have the SSL switched on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Where is the setting for the switch? Are you referring to the client or the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 It should be on both. Click the Edit menu Click the Settings menu item Either check or uncheck SSL Make sure it's the same on both machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Can you try to press and hold Shift button and right click the MSI file? You should see "Run as a different user" option. Click that and try logging in to your own user account. If it still won't work, please right click the MSI file and click properties and show us a screenshot of the following tabs: General Digital Signatures Details (showing Description, Origin and File) Security (showing permissions for your user account) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 HI Paul, I have the option to run as admin with an exe file. the msi file no option. Keep in mind, I do not have any permission issues when installing this version, synergy-v1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2-Windows-x64.msi Word doc has screenshots of properties. mouse3.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi @ggvmjm. Are you installing it v1.9.0 on top of the v1.8.8 (Synergy 1.8.8 still installed)? If so, did you install v1.8.8 to let the other log-in (Gertrude) access and use Synergy as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yes I am installing v1.9.0 over v1.8.8. Do i need to uninstall v1.8.8 then reinstall v1.9.0? if yes, i already did that with the same results of not having proper permission to start a service.

Paul Suarez Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Can you try uninstalling Synergy first then run sfc /scannow command in an elevated CMD box? After that, reboot computer and re-install v1.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Paul, i uninstalled Synergy, ran sfc /scannow, rebooted and tried to install v1.9. That did not work. I continue to get the error attached. Keep in mind, i was able to install v188 without any issues with permissions to start a service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 So Paul, i reinstall v188 so i can work. FOR NOW dealing with the mouse lags. It's been 2.5 weeks since I've purchased Synergy. I really wish we can get rid of the lag. It's frustrating when you're working and can't find the mouse so I wait 3 seconds until I can find which laptop the mouse resides. This is how I work all day and I'm not productive and have reverted back to using dedicated mouse and keyboard. I'm sure you can relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Paul again, I stopped the service on v188 successfully. I reinstalled v190. I then got this error I click on CLOSE, then i get the synergy service failed to start. which now makes sense, because of the first error the service cannot start. which leads me to question, is it the install file? could the compile of the file be corrupted?

Paul Suarez Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 That's correct @ggvmjm. Please try to download another copy of the installer file and try to re-install it with that fresh copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggvmjm Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Paul please provide the link or the msi. appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 For v1.8.8: You can visit https://symless.com/synergy directly and click the Account button on the upper-right. It'll need you to log-in first. After logging in, it will show you the link to download the latest installer (latest release). For v1.9.0: You can get it from Download Synergy 1.9-rc3 (Fixes the macOS WiFi lag bug) forums thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
