Synergy is awesome! I use it to link my XP machine to my Linux machine at work and share a common keyboard and mouse. I love being able to move between my 2 OS’s transparently. <\/p>\n

So when I broke Synergy I was understandably super bummed. It all started when I switched my Windows XP machine to use the system default language or Farsi. I was looking to see if some internationalization stuff I was working on was behaving properly. All of a sudden…. Synergy crashing :(.<\/p>\n

I looked all over the web for a solution since when I switched my language pref back to US English it was still broken. I looked all over the web and both Yahoo and Google weren’t giving me the answers I wanted. Finally buried in a forum post somewhere was the answer.<\/p>\n

Synergy doesn’t like the XP language bar. Steps to fix this were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Navigate to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel<\/li>\n
  2. Select the Regional and Language Options applet.<\/li>\n
  3. Select the second tab “Languages” then select the “Details” button.<\/li>\n
  4. You’ll get the “Text Services and Input Languages” dialog<\/li>\n

  5. Make sure all the items are unchecked.<\/li>\n
  6. Save and Exit<\/li>\n
  7. restart your machine and restart Synergy<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
