Detected application not running. Starting new process forever.

[Uber]

Hello.

I can't get to run synergy on one of my computers. It used to work fine here. It works fine on other computers.

There is this constant loop of killing the process and starting a new one.

I have tried: reinstalling 1.8.8, installing 1.9, bought 2.0 (did not even get it to work at all - version not supported). Stopping the service, starting it again.

It looks like it is working for a second or two, then the mouse lags and stops working, and works again for a second, rinse and repeat forever.

Any idea what might be the problem? I have turned off the firewall completely - did not help. 

These logs are from 1.9:
