abram 0 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi all, I'm attempting to start Synergy v1.8.8 as a client at boot (before user login prompt) on a Windows 7 machine. I had originally added a service to execute the following at startup: "C:\Program Files\Synergy\synergyc.exe" --name WINDOWS 192.168.2.100 This actually worked for a while, but not the service throws an error when I go to start it: Windows could not start SynergyC on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vender, and refer to service-specific error code 3. Looking at the the Event Viewer: The SynergyC service terminated with a service-specific error The system cannot find the path specified.. If i copy the command into command line, it runs fine without a hitch. This was working without a problem before and just stopped yesterday. Any tips on getting the client to run as service before the login screen? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

This is what immediately jumps out at me as why it may not be working as it cannot find that entire path as a executable. Edited November 22, 2019 by Onoitsu2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
