In case your Windows profile user ID contains non-UTF characters, such as éöáä and similar, please do the following on the server computer:

  1. Open Synergy.
  2. Go to File > Save Configuration As to export your existing setup.
  3. Save the configuration to a directory without the account id, for example, C:\SynergyConfig\Synergy.sgc
  4. Navigate to Configure (server configuration), and then to the config file tab
  5. Check the "Use a server config file" option, then click the folder icon to navigate and point to the saved location (example to C:\SynergyConfig\Synergy.sgc)
  6. Press OK, then Apply

The Synergy application should now be able to read the configuration and start properly.
