To me, based on the details you've provided in the post and the picture you've helpfully provided, this would only be unexpected behavior to me if the file does indeed exist, but it isn't detecting its existence. To my knowledge, the recommended option is Configure Interactively as that will go through the process of creating the synergy.conf configuration file for you and provide you with in-program methods to configure it without going through the messy option of directly editing through a markup language. Is there a specific reason that you're trying to manually point to a conf file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
