What is a monitor driver?
Host
The Host is a remote module installed on a target (i.e. remote) PC. This module works for both unattended and attended access.
Connection properties
Each connection in the Viewer's address book has individual properties that you can edit. You can also set custom defaults for newly created connections.
Address book
An address book is a place where you can keep and organize your remote connections. Each connection represents a specific remote computer. Connections have properties such as the destination address, access password (if saved), color depth and so on.
Remote Utilities allows you to back up and encrypt your address books stored locally.
The monitor driver is no longer used in Remote Utilities starting from version 6.12 Beta 2 and later.
