Can't Setup Synergy...

[Nightlord]

Hey guys, I'm trying to setup synergy with keyclone but. I'm not sure how.

Anyway got a tutorial because whenever I add a screen it says Screen name "World of Warcraft" is invalid?



Thanks...

In synergy you need to set up your different computer's "screens". By default use the system name of the computers as the names. So if ComputerA's name is ComputerA, you need to tell Synergy its screen is ComputerA or it won't be able to locate the computer.

But I dont have two computer screens? I want it to work on one computer screen? What other software can I use if Synergy wont work without 2 screens?

I'm not a Synergy user, but a "screen" isn't the same as a "window". It normally refers to a physical display. I reckon you're using the wrong tool for whatever it is you're trying to achieve.

What other software can I use

There's a dedicated page that people have workd hard to put together over at the Wiki.
