Pre-ordering is to ensure you get the poorly-finished buggy version in a brown paper bag.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Is it just me? Every time I see win 8.1 my brain registers it as Win 3.1 !

As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Anyone is using it?

I've been using it since windows XP without issues, but now it seems impossible to get it to connect between two computers...

Anyone here is using it in Windows 8.1?
Any special trick to get it working?

Win 8.1 + AVAST antivirus here, it looks like the firewall is well configured to get it working but...

Thank you all in advance!

Do you have the latest? 2.1.2.1212?

Latest installed... it should work as always...but it doesn't want to...

I've been able to see:

1. If I try to connect from my latptop to my desktop it works until I change the display positions (my laptop is at left and my desktop at right).
2. If I try to connect from my desktop to my latop it doesn't works.
3. usually it times out.
4. I've ensured that firewall is not the issue adding manually the executables there and disabling it.

Sigh | :sigh:

I've ended up installing synergy, but it is much less powerful... by now it is slower and it can't share the clipboard...

I hope I'll be able to find out a solution...

Thank you for your post.

I've been using it for a long time without issues, even under Windows 8.x but ever since I installed that 'Windows 8.1 Update' that they forced us to install or we'd stop receiving patches, it has been buggy. Sometimes it doesn't load on the other computer until you log in, etc.

One thing I found since installing Visual Studio 2013, instead of communicating through my Network Interface Card, Mouse Without Borders was trying to communicate through a "Hyper-V Virtual Network Adapter"...you should verify what NIC it is trying to communicate through...if it's Hyper-V, then change it back to your physical NIC.

I made the mistake of adding development for Windows Phone when I installed VS2013.

One last thing you can try when you have a chance is using IP addresses on the 'IP Mappings' tab instead of Computer Names?

laptop_name yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

and exactly the same result...

You've probably done this already but maybe un-install and re-install to re-enable the firewall exceptions and such?

There is a Mouse Without Borders support forum...the guy that wrote it hangs out there...I've dealt with him, he's quite helpful...

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt pre-order

So I just pre-ordered The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[^].
I still need to play parts 1 and 2 (which I also got on GOG.com). I started 1, but never finished it because I got other priorities at the time. Great game though, I'm planning on starting over and finishing it some time soon Smile | :)

Anyway, I got a code to get Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition[^] for free, but I already own it.
So... If you're interested* let me know Smile | :)

[Edit]You're too late, it's been given away[/Edit]

* You do need an account on GOG.com to redeem it.

I already have Witcher 1 + 2 (thanks to GoG and the various sales) since I'd read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Wish-Introducing-Witcher/dp/0316029181[^]
http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Elves-Andrzej-Sapkowski/dp/031602919X[^]

But I didn't get on with the control system, so I stopped before I got too far. Probably will go back to them, but not got the time at the moment.

I don't read books other than study books.
Reading the latter took all the fun out of reading the former Sigh | :sigh:

I now only read when I'm on vacation.

It took me some time to get used to the controls in The Witcher 1 as well. When I got used to them it was worth it though.
