Hello

I have just installed two Windows 7 official version, final and activated)

On the two machines where I use before with Vista 32. .avec Windows 7 I have propblème:

Only which accepts (activation (color blue) it is the secondary, the primary refuses (remains gray)

Message “cannot connect, ect.

If I reverse primary , secondary on the machines it is the same result .....only the secondary active

I can find a solution or it is an compatibility issue with Windows 7

Try doing this from a command prompt on your primary:

telnet ip_of_secondary 30564

You'll need to have the telnet client installed if you're on Windows Vista.  This is installed by default on XP.  To enable telnet for Windows Vista:

1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel.
2. Select Programs.
3. From the menu of the left, select Turn Windows Features On or Off.
4. Scroll down, and then check the "Telnet client" box.
5. Click OK.

Does this give you any kind of a response, or does it fail to connect? If you get the latter, it will be either because something is blocking communication over that port or because the Multiplicity service is not running on the secondary. For the most basic communication to occur, you will need the system tray icon (multipl.exe) running on the primary and the service (multisrv32.exe) running on the secondary. You will also need the system tray icon (multipl.exe) running on the secondary if you wish to have file sharing capabilities.

The services are accessible by going to Start->Run (Or Start->Start Search in Vista) and typing:

services.msc

Look for the service named "Stardock Multiplicity"

-If the service is not started, start it.
-If you don't see the service in this list, follow this link in Internet Explorer, save the file and run it:

If you're still having a problem at this point, please follow this link in Internet Explorer, save the file and run it on your primary and any secondaries:
