Windows Xp, 7.7.3.0 host won't install.

Hi Brad,

Thank you for the follow up.

One more question - does the issue occur only when trying to update Host or is the same issue happening when updating Viewer on that specific machine?

Looking forward to your reply.

Windows Xp, 7.7.3.0 host won't install.

Hi Brad and Johann,

Thank you for your messages.

Could you please clarify if you’ve already tried installing the update manually? Does the issue occur only on Windows XP machines or does it occur only on one specific machine?

Looking forward to your reply.

Remote Printing

Hello Gonzalo,

Thank you for your message.

Just to make sure, you’re trying to send a print job from a remote Host machine to your local Viewer computer, but nothing seems to be happening, is that correct? If this is the case, could you please try uninstalling the Remote Printing drive in the Host settings and see if reinstalling it might help to resolve the issue?
For more information on the remote printing, please also see this page.

Let us know if this helps.

Beta testing: Remote Utilities for macOS/Linux

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, currently there’s no installation package specifically for arm-based systems. However, we do plan adding support for ARM Mac/Linux OSs in our future releases.

Let us know if you have more questions.

no, or small, desktop display of host laptop, if laptop lid closed

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you mean enabling the Use legacy capture mode option on the Host machine remotely? If this is the case, you can try using the Remote Settings feature which allows you to change any of the Host settings from your Viewer computer.
If you mean something else, please let us know.

Thank you!

Hello Sacnager,

Beta testing: Remote Utilities for macOS/Linux

Hello MP,

Thank you for your message.

There's no option to configure 2FA - is that feature Windows-only at present?

Yes, unfortunately, the 2FA feature is not available in the beta version for Mac/Linux yet. However, it should be available in the final release of the stable version along with the rest of the features.

Whenever I move the mouse, type, or interact with the RU connection to the Mint machine, I get occasional screen tearing/jagging/flickering. I installed the X11 feature that was called out during the RU installation. Do I need to do anything else to stop the flickering?

Could you please clarify if you mean the Nextgen codec? If this is the case, could you please make sure that both Host and Viewer are updated to the latest available version?
If you mean something else, please let us know.

Hope that helps.

Hi Malcolm,

Thank you for your message.

We still have the mobile Host for iOS/Android in our wishlist, however, right now our priority is releasing a stable version of Remote Utilities for Mac/Linux. Unfortunately, we can’t provide any specific ETA for the mobile Host.
