Guide to installing and using TeamViewer


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all,

I have been trying to help some users out there with their setup. Many people do not know what RDP or Remote Desktop is. So I hope to enlighten here.

For the most part, people that off help here, can be trusted. If the user has fairly high post count. If you are concerned, just remember, you can un-install the software. For many, this is "old-hat". So we will just dive right in.

TeamViewer is a free for personal, non-commercial use. It allows you to launch the program and give the other person an ID code and password. They can then log into your computer and take shared control of it. The process is simple (as shown below) and it works no matter what operating system you or the other person has.

So, if someone offers to TeamView into your computer, there are a couple things to keep in mind.

1). Please be courteous. They are taking their time to help you out.

2). A good start is to have a notepad document or Word doc open to chat back and forth in.

3). When chatting, hit Enter twice when your done. That way the other person knows they can type and your not typing over each other.

To install TeamViewer on your PC (this example uses Windows) navigate to:

http://www.teamviewer.com

Click the Download link as shown below:

If asked to save or run the file, just run it. If you don't have that option, save it and run it once it's downloaded.

Once it starts it's install, be sure and select the following:

When it's finished, you will get the following screen:

Give the other person Your ID and Password (random every time you use it).

They will enter it on their end and it will connect and you will both have control. You do not need to click anything.

As always, input... more input...

Thanks,

I am still amazed more of the people doesn't use teamviever, it works great , i have been using it for years , and most of all it bypasses a lot of firewalls and stupid routines and bugs in windows and kaspersky for example . My working pc is protected like a polar bear , nothing can get to it form outside, even on static public IP,

BUT this works like a charm , have access to all of my options even when i am abroad , like working on my desktop , all the network , printers etc.

Highly recommended and its free totally for personal use.

Another great thing about team viewer is using it to remote into your arcade set up and working from the comfort of your regular pc. Makes the thousands of little tweaks and the ever ongoing updating process easier.

This is awesome. Ever since I shelled my machine to HS for a short time (I've since undone that), I haven't been able to connect to my arcade machine using RDP. Infuriating. I'll start a separate thread on that.

Separately, I have a TeamViewer question. Is there a way to send the video for TeamViewer only to the controlling machine? I ask because my arcade machine has an actual arcade monitor and can only go up to 800x600 max, which is still tragically small for the HLHQ UI. And ideally, I'd like to set the resolution of my TeamViewer session much higher than that. That's what I'd do with RDP, and it worked great. Ah, if only RDP still worked!

Unfortunately, there is not a way to display more than the remote computer can display.

I was thinking about how to display more of the HLHQ window on a low res monitor and was reminded of using a scrolling virtual desktop on my Atari ST many years ago. It turns out this is possible in Windows as well, as per this article:

http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/i-love-free-desktop-extender.htm

I've not tried any of the suggested tools (I'm not at my PC at the moment), but one of them may well be the answer.

I look forward to seeing your results. I know there are many people out there using arcade monitors that have the same issue you are.

Ah, I don't actually have an arcade monitor - I was just thinking this might help people who do! I'll be back at my PC soon so will give it a try anyway and report back.

Well the first one I tried (GiMeSpace) was a dead loss. I set my screen resolution to 800x600 and could scroll about a much larger area and move / open windows all over the place, but the size of each window was limited to the screen resolution. I.e. I couldn't make HLHQ wide enough to have all the icons at the top of the screen in a single row then scroll left and right to see it all.

I feel sure there must be a way to do it but I've not got time to investigate the other options right now. I'll come back to this in the next few days if nobody beats me to it.

Thanks for trying, Agrajag! I'll do some digging too. Hadn't thought about this idea as a solution before.

I started a new thread for this idea, as it's not strictly speaking anything to do with TeamViewer:
