Keyboard stops working on 2nd PC

from Stardock Forums
Scenario: I leave my desk. I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to lock the secondary PC. I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to lock the Primary PC. I go to a meeting or something.

Come back, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del unlock the Primary. Move the mouse to the secondary PC hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and the login box comes up, but I can't type. I can move my mouse, I can Tab around the boxes, I can turns the CAPS lock on and off, and I can hit enter. But I can't type in my password either from the Primary keyboard or the secondary keyboard.

NOTE: I am still using the trial version of the product, but I'm only on my 2nd day. I am stronly considering buying several copies for some employees, but rebooting the secondary PC after being gone for a few minutes is a major hassle.

Hopefully someone has seen this, or at least the devs are working on it.

Try tapping the Ctrl and Alt again. My TabletPC has teh on-screen keyboard and I see those two keys highlighted (selected) once in a while.

I keep meaning to send in a bug repoort but I can live with it and I would rather see ThinkSync get any attention available.

I ended up rebooting both machines, and it hasn't happened since. I think it was only a problem with my host PC, which hadn't rebooted after the initial install. I haven't had that problem since then and I've been using Multiplicity continuously for the past 5 days or so.

This has happened again to me, but after reading through the documentation a little bit further. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace corrects it without the need for a reboot....duh!

But thanks for reading along anyway
