WB5 causes Synergy to crash

October 6, 2005 7:18:01 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Hi all,

I use Synergy (http://synergy2.sf.net) to share my keyboard and mouse between my windows desktop and my linux desktop. Since installing the WB5 Beta, synergy crashes every time I try to interact with it..

What information can I provide to help resolve this problem?

Here's the info from WB5 :

WindowBlinds 5 BETA Troubleshooting Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have 2 monitors.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
(Plug and Play Monitor) 2 is attached to Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
'NetMeeting driver' also exists as device '\\.\DISPLAYV1', but is not attached to the desktop and is a mirror driver.
'RDPDD Chained DD' also exists as device '\\.\DISPLAYV2', but is not attached to the desktop and is a mirror driver.


Thanks!

There was also a memory dump file.. I can pretty much crash this on command, so just let me know what you want me to do and what information you want me to retrieve and I should have no problem doing so.

For the time being, I've reverted back to WB4...

Switch to multiplicity (link: https://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/)

No problems with WB5 (and I get to move files).

Doesn't work with Linux yet.

XenoPhage: Have you tried excluding Synergy from WB?

Sorry, didn't see the "linux" part.

Yep.. I tried excluding synergys.exe ... I'm not so sure it's strictly related to the skinning of synergy itself.. Really, there's nothing to skin... It crashes when I move the cursor to the edge of the screen to move to the other machine, or when i click on the synergy icon looking for a status..

Getting a status could be skin related i guess, but it worked fine with WB4...

Well, WB4 is working perfectly for me now, so I'll stick with that and see what comes of the next few betas....

I just tried the latest synergy build with WB and had no problems at all.

What build of synergy are you using?

This seems to work now..    Actually, it has since a day or two after I posted the last message...  WB5 Rocks!
