Multiplicity 1.05 is out!!!
One more release until Mac OS X!!
Thursday, May 18, 2006 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Multiplicity
1.05 release
------------
-Updates to clipboard handler to account for secondaries
potentially being off and causing lag while pasting.
-Updates to connection code to account for secondaries
potentially being off when reconnecting.
-Tested against Windows Vista pre-release 5381 (x86 and x64).
Should remain happy on the upcoming Beta 2 build.
-Updated activate.exe to allow translation (activate.lng) and
added up-front checking for potentially invalid serials or
other customer issues.
-With the release of this version, the next set of
updates should include a beta of OS X support for Intel and PPC.

Hey team, thanks for this update! I've noticed that I get reconnected to my secondaries much better now and I also immediately noticed how much better Copy/Paste across machines is working!
I'm still running into issues with my laptop when it has multiple NICs (wireless and wired) and issues with my DHCP -> dynamic DNS registration being out of date so I have to manually change my ip address of my laptop secondary almost every time I connect. These aren't really Multiplicity's fault though, so nice work!

Same problem. I remoted into the primary and got mouse back.
I was also able to use a bug in the troubleshooter on the secondary to restore the mouse on the priomary. Look Ma! It's a feature now!
Carl, I'm going to drop a case to Stardock. Suggest you do the same. stardock.helpserve.com
Can you run a test for me? Enable the scroll lock switch and see if you lose your mouse that way too?

No luck wit scroll lock. It's funny, now that it doesn't work I notice how it became essential for my everyday work. I hope for a quick fix.

If you have lost your mouse when you try to control a secondary (I.e. it appears to have locked as the mouse stops moving anything on either machine) then you have a problem with the installation on the secondary machine. I would uninstall Multiplicity from the secondary, reboot, and then reinstall.
It is important you do that extra reboot.
If you mean your mouse cursor has vanished when you return from controlling the secondary, then CursorXP does have a bug where sometimes it loses the cursor.

As I said, the problem is on the secondary, not the primary. You must reinstall on the secondary.

No love. Winlogon fails. Mouse on Primary goes to la-la land when I try to move over. Invoking the troubleshooter releases mouse on primary.
Next steps: Uninstall, reboot, clean the registry, reboot, install, reboot.
It's a great app . . . but the last few builds are killing me.

I'll check the secondary processes after the NEXT install. 
Neil, what version should be displayed in the advanced tab of the config? I show 1.05.007 in SDC but 1.02 in the app itself.
Need I reinstall the primary?

OK, on the secondary:
Installed. Rebooted. Configured.
Troubleshooter showed everything OK at first but on retry showed winlogon failure.
Stardock MP service is set to auto start but is stopped. On start attempt I get error that the system can't find the path.
MPVista is not running, Multipl.exe is.
On the primary. Uninstalled and reinstalled to fix versioning. All is 1.05 now. The uninstall left lots of MP entries in the reg. It sure would be nice if they were all removed at uninstall.
Gonna reboot secondary again.

The app should show 1.05.
Can you provide a directory listing of the files in the MP directory on your secondary please.

I'm done.
Everything has been reinstalled and rebooted a hundred times (it feels that way at least).
The last test had the mouse getting lost when moving to the primart to the secondary. I turned on screen darkening on teh primary and the secondary went dark. So I know a message is getting through. But then the primary goes dim too. At least the mouse comes back to life after a bit. It appears in the upper corner of the side the secondary is at.
For completeness sake, here is the dir listing of the primary:
