Windows client not working


Recommended Posts

MacHater

As title says.. I havent been able to use synergy for some time now, the desktopicon in the windows client is grayed out and nothing happens when leftclicking and selecting "Share".

I have tried:

1) Rebooting

2) Upgrading Synergy

3) Manually stopping the synergy service in the task manager and restarting it.

4) Formatting pc.

5) Crying.

The Mac client seems to be working - its all green and waiting for a connection. The Mac and PC is on the same network.

One other quick trick is to move the screen images in the Synergy UI apart. Both will go into 'connecting' mode. This should restart the Synergy-core on both boxes. Then reassemble into the arrangement you like.

I actually think the error is not windows side after all..

The although the desktop is green on the mac, it says "Next step: install Synergy 2 on another computer".

So the mac client cant see the windows client, and the windows client cannot see the mac client..

Yeah, they both need to have Synergy 2.0.xx installed. BTW, Synergy 2.0 is not backward compatible with Version 1.

Hi again GranPaSmurf.

Both versions are 2.0.11-stable. I always make sure to update clients to the newest version. Since last i had Synergy 1.0 installed, i have formatted and reinstalled my mac and my pc - so no traces of the previous version exist anywhere.
