I have gotten nVidia drivers to work before in a VM under linux, but that's a different animal. I can try that quickly to see if I can get functionality. I'll give it a shot now and get back with you. Thanks, Matt
Sean, I really don't want to re-install everything -- I've been looking over some specialized installs that are now over 6 years old that I would lose plus I want to test my software on this machine and that won't change with time. So instead I'm going to try a virtualbox win 7 and just install Multiplicity first to see if that works. Is there any pitfalls to this approach -- I mean, does Stardock support VMs running multiplicity? Thanks for your 411. </p
Sean, Is there anything else you would like me to try? It could be me, but I'm starting to think this problem is a goner and requires some good coder debugging love. I assume you guys have a test lab set up for multiple operating systems. I'm at the point where I might just reinstall the operating system. I only need 5 or so core software development tools installed to use the machine. But I will just install the bare machine and multiplicity so we can eliminate all thos
Sean, I tried a clean boot through msconfig, which as you know disables all services and drivers. Multiplicity would not run, as you would expect. I fixed this by simply starting the Multiplicity service. Then multiplicity starts up on the secondary. However now there is a problem with connection from the primary. Do you have a list of dependent services that must be started in a clean boot situation so that Multiplicity can connect?
Sean, That sounds like a great idea -- going to try that as soon as I get a moment. Thank you.
Sean, Yes, I can see the mouse cursor, but there's no interaction. > turn the Windows firewall on I have a snapshot of the configuration screen, and I know how to configure the ports and exceptions, however i
Sean, [quote who="sdRohan" reply="8" id="3800933"] Then it's almost certainly a documented firewall issue: [/quote] Arrgh! I hoped that would have worked, but I've turned off both the windows and kaspersky software firewalls and tried again and unfortunately, that's not it. Matt
Hi Sean, OK, well let's assume I'm a professional software engineer with 30 years experience. So I'm not running with the monitor closed or the machine sleeping. I've cleaned this machine of all extraneous applications and drivers and like I said, the configuration from windows 7 to windows 10 works fine. So now the configuration and state of the computers is identical from that working state, and now we are just switched, running KVM mode from windows 10 to windows 7. <p
The secondary is a gaming laptop -- so always on. Does that answer your question?
I don't use the second monitor on the secondary machine. But, sure, I can turn that on. What's next?
Hi, I've successfully set up my win 10 and win 7 as secondary and primary, and it worked fine. Now I want the win 7 as secondary and win 10 as primary. I am able to set up and connect up, and although I get a black screen on the win 7 machine, I read another post here where the recommendation was to use ctrl-alt-backspace and this brought me to a visible screen after you hit ctrl-alt-delete on the win 7 machine ("task manager" menu). Sometimes I hit cancel and it locks, but so
Yep Sean, that clears it up. Since you are in charge, I'd wish you would pass on this text to the developers: So the UI design guy chooses to put an otherwise unlabeled button that says "Connect" as the entry method into seamless mode on a UI page that is called "KVM", even though there is another UI page that is called "Seamless" which has no method of entry at all? Have I got that right? Also, please add drag/dr
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="6" id="3799823"] Are you trying to drag to or from the KVM window? [/quote] So, Neil, kvm has no drag/drop capability. On primary, monitor 1 explorer is the source. On monitor 2, the secondary is in fullscreen mode. Unless I am mistaken, this is seamless mode, as my mouse moves smoothly between monitors, operates secondary on monitor 2, and the drop operation being refused implies that I am doing a seamless operation. If that's not s
[quote who="sdRohan" reply="4" id="3799807"] (I can cut copy and paste between computers) [/quote] Does this not answer your question?
Sean, I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if I installed MP? If you are, yes, of course it installed properly and I am able to use KVM mode just fine (I can cut copy and paste between computers), and and I have moved the remote access window onto my second display. With the remote access window on my secondary display, the mouse moves seamlessly between the local and the remote computers on the primary machine, but although drag state looks normal, drop on another compute
I have set up multiplicity successfully for KVM operation. There is a problem though, with seamless mode, and I'm not sure why. I have my second monitor showing a fullscreen of the secondary. It is running Windows 10 Pro. I can copy and paste from this machine to my primary without issue. But when I have explorer windows open on my primary (Windows 7) and secondary, and try to drag a file from primary to secondary, I get a "no" icon (the common circle with slash through it) when tryin
I want to +1 this problem. I just bought Multiplicity KVM and I'm getting the same issue. The mouse motion on the secondary machine (identical full 1080 resolution to primary machine) motion is scaling incorrectly by about 10%. So in the upper left of the secondary, both mice appear identical, but in the lower right of the secondary, the mouse coordinates are about 110% of my primary machine. It's not totally unusable, but it's a hot problem. Perhaps I'll look for an older version to
