Error about synrgyhk.dll when starting Synergy
- Download Process Explorer
- Run it, and search for synergy by clicking on the little binoculars
- Kill all processes using the troubling dll (synrgyhk.dll) - be careful here to not kill anything important
- I had to kill a process called
splwow64.exe
that had a handle on that dll for some reason, and everything worked great after
I couldn't find a solution from the synergy Q&A's site, but I found it here. Run services.msc
and restart Synergy service. It should allow you to start the server now. Thanks Shiki for the suggestion. I, however, didn't need to reset the configuration in the registry. I'm thankful for that since my password is 30 digits and I don't remember it.
