Screen Lock - Mouse without Borders stops

Question

I have been running Mouse without Borders for well over a year and just recently every time my PC screen locks, Mouse without Borders stops working. I looked at the events log and it says "Service stopped successfully for the MouseWithoutBordersSvc. 

Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

That is exactly what I am experiencing. Still no resolution :>(

Answer 2

I am experiencing the same thing.  In my case I have four workstations, all Windows 7, connected using Mouse without Borders.  Everything has worked fine for a year or more, and then this past week (following monthly security updates?) things started behaving poorly after locking the machines.

Two of the machines are staying connected, the other two will experience a Timed Out connection.  Restarting all computers will resolve the issue, and is the only resolution I have found to work so far.

Another interesting observation is that on the computers that have "Timed Out", the Mouse w/o Borders application is VERY slow to respond.

Opening the the Mouse w/o Borders will result in the Settings screen appearing but unusable for a minute or so.  The Window is on top of all other applications, but the mouse (directly connected to that machine) can interact with all other applications and windows, other than Mouse w/o Borders.  Passing over the Mouse w/o Borders window will cause the cursor to disappear, and even the window itself cannot be moved - for a while.

After a minute or so, the Mouse w/o Borders Settings window become active and you may be able to perform an operation or two (on the timed-out machine), but it will then become unresponsive for a minute or so again - until the reboot.

On the computers that remain "connected" the Mouse w/o Borders settings screens function normally, without any lag in response during these events.
