Click and Dragging not working properly

February 3, 2017 9:20:25 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have a computer (Primary) and a Laptop (Secondary) connected to each other.

I can click and drag from my computer to my Laptop, but not the other way around.

Clipboard works both ways.

The firewall doesn't seem to be the problem, because the same result is there when both firewalls are turned off.

The (blue) task bar icon on my Computer says "Multiplicity", while on my Laptop it (gray) says "Multiplicity (disconnected)", even though I can control my Laptop with my Computer.

If I switch the Primary/Secondary role so that my Laptop is Primary and vice versa, both Icons are blue and everything works properly; (but I want my Computer to be Primary, since using the touch-pad is really uncomfortable)

Hello,


Try downloading the following file:

http://sd.stardock.com/zubaz/apps/Purge_MP.bat

If you're on Vista/7/8/10, right click on the file and select "Run as administrator".

Example: http://sd.stardock.com/sean/JingImages/2015-02-02_1650.png

If you're on XP, double click to apply it.

After it completes, please remove all the Multiplicity Windows firewall rules:

Please also temporally disable any other third party firewall applications you may have installed.

Reboot, reinstall Multiplicity (most current for your version):

Repeat the process on all PCs you have MP installed on.

Set up your Multiplicity connections again.. DO NOT change any of the default settings prior to establishing that MP is working.

Did this it didn't actually fix it because it wasn't that broken as I discovered now.

The issue seems to be the Desktop(on my Laptop).

When I try to move something from the Desktop to my Computer, then it doesn't work.

When I try to move something from a window (which doesn't go to the edge of the screen), then it doesn't work.

from a window (which goes to the edge of the screen), then it works fine.

from Desktop over a window(can be anything, even something like Windows Defender) which goes to the edge of the screen or is positioned on the edge of the screen, then it works fine.

So I use this as a workaround.

I am not sure if it is Fences that causes this issue because I use it on both my Computer and Laptop and everything works fine when dragging something from my Computer.

 

Thanks for your help anyways.
