Ok, I just tried the pinching and zooming and I was surprised it worked pretty good. I had trouble with that last week and thought it was the cause of some of my crashes, but i guess not. It worked fine in my limited tests. As far as ctrl-alt-del, I didn't see that specifically, but I think the menu would allow it. It appears to do everything it would do on your 700P. I am very impressed with how fast it is. It's not cheap, but worth it for me.

Good luck...

Update: A person has limited zoom function with their fingers. I can not zoom in very far. It does zoom in by about a third though. The trouble is that the menu at the top zooms at a different rate. It works, but using the menu to zoom to the two different levels is probably the easiest.

I paid for this software a while back...and now its released in the app catalog. I spoke directly with the dev and he told me that I would be given the app catalog version for free. Im sure he promised plenty of other people the same thing. Has anyone heard how he plans to do this?

btw...devs that ask for donations, promising things in the process, then go back on their promises really make me not want to donate anymore...

I've installed it from the Pre store, getting it to connect was easy and looks great on my pre, takes keyboard input perfectly just 1 issue maybe someone here can help. I cant get it to take any mouse input at all, not from the control buttons in the software or any other way. Yes that option is turned on any ideas?

I was hesistant on DL this app from the palm app store because of the reviews. but im pretty tech savy and wanted to give it a shot.
So far its working great on both my xp desktopand vista notebook
the one thing you really need to do is port foward on your router.
after doing that it worked fine on my xp system without doing anything on that system.
my vista ultimate system was giving me trouble. kept getting a popup about microsoft .net framework. went to MS site and DL the framework .net 2.0 sdk / that didnt work.
what worked for me on my vista system was i turned of the " user account control " on the system
once i did that the software worked great and has been for the past 2 days and im loving it.

i tested this by turning it back on and i was back in the same situation.
turned UAC back off and remotewin was up and running again at startup

great app and in my opinion
would love to be able to use it in landscape mode though
only problem i had was when i remote into my system then logged into my citrix acct to access work applications online it will not let me type any text into any of the fields. trying to figure out a fix for that

It's awesome to finally have a remote access app for the Pre that works so well, but I have one concern - the password is in clear text in the registry of the machine that the server app is installed on! Yikes! Are there any plans to lock this down better?

Thanks.

When I try to start the server on my laptop it says" Only one usage of socket address is normally permitted" and it does not start, any ideas?

Reply

How do I uninstall the service from my pc? I deleted the files but the service starts every time I restart my computer.

I just purchased the paid version and I am dissapointed:

1- No landscape
2- If I am using the app to login to my laptop and I have remote desktop session on my laptop, the keyboard does not carry through to the remote session which is a deal breaker to me
3- The trial version is faster

I had this problem too. The server app was a piece of crap and ended up bogging my PC down. To clean this out of my Windows XP machine this is what I did.

First, I had to go into task manager and kill the process b/c it was still running. There are various ways to get into Task Manager, but I do CTRL+SHIFT+Escape. Go to Processes tab and look for RemoteWin.exe. Right click it and click end process.

Next, go to Start>Run>type msconfig. Go to the Services tab and look for RemoteWin there too. Uncheck the box next to RemoteWin. It may give you an error as it did for me. If it asks you if you want to reboot, say reboot later.


Go to Start>Run>Type regedit *be VERY careful while in here b/c this can hose your machine if you delete anything other than RemoteWin from here. I would recommend backing up your critical data before doing this if you are not too tech savvy*

Press CTRL+F. Type in RemoteWin and press enter. It may take a little bit to find it, but I found 3 references in the registry. On the first match that comes up, right-click RemoteWin and left-click delete.

Press CTRL+F again and it will still have RemoteWin in there. Hit enter. The next reference it finds will be in a subfolder on the folder tree on the left-hand side. The main folder is the name of the company that made RemoteWin. Right-click this folder, "Deep Thought Software" and left-click delete

Press CTRL+F again and hit enter. This is the last reference to RemoteWin in the registry I found. Delete the RemoteWin folder

Close regedit and reboot your machine and no more RemoteWin

I have the Free RemoteWin Lite and was wondering if anyone else is missing the 4 screen buttons? Also, has anyone purchased the official $9.99 RemoteWin from the App store and does it have the 4 screen buttons?

Reply

Yes, I have the paid version and it does have the 4 buttons, two on top and two on the bottom of the screen.

The option to get the buttons to show on the screen are in the drop down Menu.

You can hide or show them.

im getting a registry not allowed error when i go to run the server which is not allowing me to run it how can i fix this any help would be greatly appreciated:-)

I wanted to try it before I spent $10 on something that may not work for me or may not fit my needs... jump through all the hoops to get homebrew stuff installed (not that it's THAT big of a deal) and launched Remotewin-lite and now that says it's expired. As of yesterday the webpage said to try the free one over at precentral... what gives. Are you going to have a free/lite version on the app catalog?

Reply

I want landscape mode back !

potrait sucks...
what does Switch Screen do ?

Reply

Just Curious... Are there any notable functionality issues with this app running on the 1.4 update?



Thanks,
