I use a program called Synergy to share my mouse and keyboard across multiple PC's. Since installing Boinc, every 1-2 minutes, my mouse cursor freezes and moves back to the center of the screen on the main PC running the Synergy server. It is extremely annoying. Anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening or how to stop it, aside from uninstalling either piece of software? |

I think I have solved this. In the options for Synergy, enabling relative mouse movements seem to have resolved this issue. Hopefully this helps someone else. |

Scratch that, issue is still occurring. After further research, turns out this is an issue with Synergy. It just coincidentally started after I installed Boinc. I couldn't resolve the problem with Synergy so I switched to a program called Multiplicity. Just wanted to update in case anyone with similar problems happened to search here. |
