I am helping a friend of a friend. She just bought a brand new
server for her health care company and asked me to set it up. One of
the last things I had to do was have Synergy installed on it.
Synergy is a health care software program, and it would have been
installed remotely by someone at the Synergy company. The Synergy
guy said I first had to install Symantic PC Anywhere.

Well, that isn't exactly true. There's remote desktop (built in) and stuff
like Webex or LiveMeeting. I'd go with either of thse first. There's even
VNC, although I tend to avoid that on servers as well.


My friend gave
me a copy she had to install, Symantic PC Anywhere
10.5. After I installed it on the server, the server booted up in low
resolution graphics, similar to what you would see in safe mode. No
matter how I often I tried to adjust the resolution in Display
properties or update the device driver, the server stayed with the
same graphics that could barely fit on the screen. When the Synergy
guy tried to install his software remotely, he connected (because I
could see his mouse cursor move on my screen and he could see his
cursor) but all he saw on his screen was nothing but some lines.
Please help. Thanks.

I don't like pcAnywhere and try to avoid it. It can cause problems with
DLLS, give you BSODs, etc.. I'd uninstall it and look into alternatives.
