I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and the latest version of Multiplicity was causing my monitors to fade to black when the mouse moved between computers.  I had the fade options disabled, so this was kinda confusing.  A quick email to Stardock tech support revealed the following fix:

On your primary computer:

-Right Click on the Multiplicity Tray Icon, choose ‘Configure’
-For each secondary you have in the list:
—Click the computer name, then the ‘Configure’ button
—Make sure that ‘Monitor Control: (Shares with)’ is set to ‘None’
—Click OK
-Click on the Interface Tab at the top.
-Make sure that ‘Darken the Screen when connected’ option is disabled.

Once you do this, right click on the Multiplicity tray icon on both machines and choose ‘Unload’. Then restart the app on both machines.

It worked like a charm here!  Thanks to Curt at Stardock for the quick turnaround and help on this one.
