Synergy, I am missing mouse cursor on client machine

Question

I have installed Synergy Server on my laptop, and the Client side of things on my Virtual Desktop Session, both running a Win XP environment. I am able to connect no problem. When I move mouse to client machine, I can click on items and activate them, but I do not see my Mouse Cursor from the server. I can use keyboard shortcuts, but its a real pain trying to operate 2nd machine, with no mouse pointer.

Any ideas?

As a clarification, I have installed the Synergy Release as of Feb 20th (newest install) and when I stated that I installed the client on one and server on other, I was making incorrect generalizations. I installed same installer on both, just wanted to clarify which I was using as server, and which as client.

Solution

Not exactly solution to your Synergy issue but Microsoft have released similar software and I can say that it's equal if not better than the one you're using now.

So if you cannot find viable solution give it a try.

What do you mean by "virtual desktop session"? Is it a Citrix or RDP session being displayed on a different computer than your laptop?

[Admin]

or is it a VMware/VirtualPC/VirtualBox desktop? Sounds fishy when you say Virtual Desktop Session. Dont get why you would need synergy in either case or Citrix's for that matter.

Have you tried reinstalling Synergy? Have you tried an older version? Also, you should try this search query (synergy ~mouse ~hidden ~problem) on Google, it will search for different kinds of similar queries so you get the most accurate results...
