Hi,

We will add a new 'Reboot in safe mode' option to the Power Control mode most likely in the nearest version 5.4. For the time being you can use the Telnet mode to reboot in safe mode:

1. Install and configure the Host on the remote PC. Then start the Telnet connection mode and type:

bcdedit /set safeboot Network

2. After it says "the operation completed successfully", run the Power Control mode, select "Restart the remote PC" and click OK. The remote PC will restart in Safe Mode with Networking and the Host will start with the system.

Hi John,

Have you enabled incoming Remote Desktop connections on the remote computer first? By default RDP access is disabled in Windows.

Hi,

Of course, why not. Feel free to send your files to support@remote-utilities.com  :)

Ok, thanks! We'll examine it and get back to you soon.

Damdam,

Even when you use the Move command (F6) the program never deletes a remote file before it is completely transferred.  

Anyway, can you please send us the log file/files. You can find the logs in the C:\Program Files\Remote Utilities - Host\Logs folder. Also, let me know what operating system is installed on both ends. Thanks!

You need to change the sound recording device and select Stereo Mix. Here's how to do it:

1. In Windows XP, go to Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio devices -> Audio tab -> and in the Sound Recording bounding box click the Volume button. The "Wave In" window will open.

2. In the window main menu click Options -> Properties and select the Recording radiobutton. Make sure the Stereo Mix check box is checked and click OK.

3. Now in the "Wave In" window select the stereo mix check box as shown:



Try to capture sound again with Remote Utilities.

Hello,

Can you please clarify:

1. What was the total file size you were trying to transfer?
2. What operation were you using (Copy/Move)?
3. What error did you get?

Hello,

Thanks for the kind words  :)  Please, let us know what operating system is used on the local and remote PCs. Also, are you trying to capture the sound from the sound card (say, music being played on the remote PC) or the microphone's input?

When I mean load I mean't by the computers icon wouldn't change from offline to showing their desktop.

Make sure the "Auto-logon" feature is disabled. It's in the Properties for the target remote PC entry -> Security -> Auto-logon check box.

I knew about the icon changing colors, but does their background change or flicker or anything like that ?

Only the mouse pointer can flicker in certain circumstances. Say, when you enable 'Capture alpha-blending windows' in the Properties. And of course, if you connect in Full Control mode, the remote user will notice it by an unexpected movement of their mouse cursor.  :)

Hi Greg,

Well I clicked ping and nothing happens.

The ping command is used only to tell if the remote computer is online. It has nothing to do with actually connecting.

I finally had to connect w view only for it to load.

Load what, sorry? What was that you wanted to accomplish? But just in case - if you want to use the "stand by" mode without actively connecting - just use the Logon command (available on the toolbar and in the context menu for selected remote PC in the connection list).

Also if I connect to them with control or only viewing. Can they tell when I do ?

Yes, the Host's icon in the system tray will turn red (from blue).
