Hi Matthew,

Some programs that you mention employ automatic performance adjustment depending on the network speed and the remote CPU load. So the image can be optimized even though it's not immediately visible to the eye.

Unfortunately, Remote utilities lacks such ability so far so you should manually tweak performance settings. They are listed in this KB article https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/slow-remote-connection-speed-performance/ . Specifically, the color depth, economode and visual effects.

Hope that helps.

Viewer Update problem

By the way, as an emergency you can always use the portable Viewer. This Viewer is self-contained and will work regardless of whether there is a Viewer installation on that machine.

Hello,

To completely uninstall Viewer please follow this guide. Before you clean up the %APPDATA% folder though note that the connections_4.xml file is your general address book. You might want to back it up before proceeding.  

In addition, remove the folder C:\ProgramData\Remote Utilities . Note that the ProgramData folder is hidden - you must enable "Hidden files and folders" in Windows.

Viewer leaves no traces in Windows registry, so no need to clean it.

If all else fails use this secret weapon from Microsoft

Hope that helps.

We implemented this alert message because there was no obstacle whatsoever for malware actors to use the product for their nefarious deeds.

I mean unaltered (out-of-the-box) product, of course. Because a modified/cracked product is a totally different thing, which can be recognized and eradicated even by the modern antivirus software programs (sarcasm).

Hi John,

Thank you for your honest remarks.

I do believe that this is being done “The Message in the bottom right corner” to get Paid membership , no doubt about that.

Sorry, that's not true. Converting free license users to paid users wouldn't have much impact on our earnings (otherwise we wouldn't offer a free license at all, or would severely restrict it in features).

We implemented this alert message because there was no obstacle whatsoever for malware actors to use the product for their nefarious deeds. Now they at least must purchase a license - and a paid license is something that can easily be blocked. It's that simple.

Are you offering any Seasonal discounts like others do this time of the year like the Christmas and new year discount and if so how do we get it?

Feel free to contact our sales at sales@remoteutilities.com. I'm sure they'll come up with something.

Hi Douglas,

Thank you for your message.

Perhaps, the msi installer is broken on that computer somehow. You can try the following:

1. Manually uninstall Viewer via Windows settings.

2. Download and install Viewer.

Hope that helps.

Mouse scroll broken on host after installing version 7.1.0.0

Hello Everyone,

We have been testing this recently and managed to reproduce the bug. The issue was caused by an updated  third-party library. We had to update our code to compensate.

Anyway, the fix will be available in the next update which is due in a week or two.  

Thanks.

Hello Olivier,

1. This message is only shown for free license users and trial users.

2. It will be translated into other languages (20 languages) in the next update.

Still haven't received a fee license key
