TLDR;
I'm asking if anyone knows a fullproof way to fix my problem with Synergy (which has not been updated since 2006, I think) or knows of a program that works about the same as Synergy but is more compatible.
---------------------------------------------------------
Don't get me wrong, Synergy works okay. For the most part.
Basically, I have a desktop and a laptop. They are right next to each other, and I have a wireless mouse and keyboard.
The way Synergy works, when I move my mouse to the right side of my desktop...the mouse transfers to my laptop, along with the keyboard.
This program worked fine with XP to XP.
It had some kinks to work out in XP to Vista.
And has a couple more in W7 to W7.
Synergy will run fine, until my desktop (which runs incredibly slow..by the way) will get this 10 second lag spike. Afterwords, for whatever reason, my mouse will be on my desktop while my keyboard is fixed on my laptop.
To fix the issue, I tried clicking the "Force Reconnect" button. It fixes the problem of having the keyboard and mouse on different screens, but it won't let me move them back to my laptop.
So, the better solution is to completely restart Synergy on my desktop.
It's just, this happens to frequently that it has become an issue.
I've tried running it in compatibility mode and as administrator on both computers. No dice.
