most of us techy people don't trust automatic. Quick question this version is not starting and running in the tray and when I close the main window i stops everthing. Did i do something wrong..it should be in the tray right?

I'm a fan of the automatic (what we call JFW) configuration and haven't yet felt there were any settings I wanted/needed to adjust.

The one thing that has dogged me a bit, particularly when debugging VPN "why doesn't it JFW?" issues has been a lack of insight into the IP that the machine is reporting for itself, and the IP it receives from the Symless server for the location of it's client(s)/server. Even a simple right-click-on-machine "info" panel would help greatly with debugging, particularly the address(es):port(s) that have been autoconfigured.

IMO, you're doing it backwards.
Automatic/JFW/IdiotMode/Whatever should be done last, not first. Stabilize the product then turn on autopilot.
As stated many times, it's beta software.
And as you are finding out, it is not easy, and frustrating for us, to troubleshoot a blackbox. Many (most) of us are techies and are happy to be guinea pigs, but you aren't making our jobs of testing any easier if we don't know what's going on. There's no documentation, no instructions, just "install it, trust us!".
Heck I didn't even know it phoned home for registration until it did it. Naughty naughty (Not that it did, but I wasn't made aware it would.)
You know, that brings up a good question, what is going on in the background of Synergy2?

I have a 14 monitor setup. Some computers have a third or fourth monitor that doesn't line up with the cursor across all screens. WE NEED a configuration option. The previous version had a very easy config file that could be manipulated with percentages to allow for the cursor to go across the screens in a straight line. Will that be possible?

You sure about that? Beta 4 still quits every time I close the window.

Are you absolutely sure you're running beta4? Because the window no longer runs anything, it's purely for configuration. If it stops working, then it's most likely a huge bug. Could you send your logs, and let me know exactly what time you close the window?
