Can't start Synergy server service












1















everytime I try to start the Synergy Server service (out of services) I get an error code 4.
I tried to install .Net Framework 4 but it didn't help.



Anyone an idea?

    Not really a fix, but an alternative... I switched from Synergy to "Mouse Without Borders" blogs.technet.com/b/next/archive/2011/09/09/… But of course, that only works if you are on windows only, what are the OS's?

  • I use 'service start synergy' in my startup - It doesn't start natively

This page contains two suggestions for the problem. You may try them:





  1. I had the same problem with Windows 2003 Server x64. I found a workaround
    however - I copied the synergy.sgc
    file from the current user's "My
    Documents" to the Default User's "My
    Documents" directory. Once I did this
    the service started up fine.


  2. error 4 does mean the configuration couldn't be read. try running
    synergy.exe and click "Configure"
    under "Automatic Startup". turn off
    autostart when the computer starts
    then turn it back on again. then quit
    and try manually starting the service.
