LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual 172

TIP The easiest way to send a CTRL+ALT+DEL to the host machine is to:

1Establish a Remote Control session with the host machine.

2Click on the Session menu, and select “Send CTRL+ALT+DEL to Host”.

Do not install other remote control products and LapLink on the same computer

Because of possible incompatibilities, avoid installing LapLink Gold and another remote control product on the same computer.

Examples include PC Anywhere and Windows Terminal Services.

CAUTIONInstalling LapLink Gold with another remote control application installed may result in a failure to reboot (except in Windows Safe Mode.) For more information on allowing these programs to coexist with LapLink, visit www.laplink.com/support.

Avoid pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE when viewing a Windows NT, Windows 2000, XP or 2003 host in full- screen Remote Control

Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE on a Windows NT computer always displays the Windows Security dialog box on that computer. When you are working in a full-screen Remote Control session, pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE not only displays the Security dialog box locally but also causes the CTRL and ALT keys to be pressed—but not released—on the host computer. To release these keys and resume nor- mal keyboard operation press CTRL and ALT again.

TIP To have CTRL+ALT+DELETE take effect on a host computer, click Send CTRL+ALT+DELETE to Host on the guest's Session menu.

Keep LapLink running before the Windows NT, Win- dows 2000, XP or 2003 logon prompt

If you have set up LapLink on the host computer to run be- fore the Windows NT logon dialog box appears, avoid clos- ing LapLink on that computer unless you have administrator rights. If you close LapLink, you will have to restart the com- puter in order to reset LapLink so that other people can con- nect. (Restarting LapLink is not sufficient.)

Avoid running a Windows NT, Windows 2000, XP or 2003 host in VGA mode

When a Windows NT computer is running in VGA mode you can make LapLink connections from it to other computers using Remote Control and File Transfer, but the computer cannot serve as a Remote Control host. That is, it cannot be remotely controlled by other computers.

Run DOS in a window on a Windows NT, Windows 2000, XP or 2003 host

You cannot control full-screen DOS programs on a Windows NT host. When you attempt to do so, LapLink minimizes the program and displays a warning message. (To close the DOS program, right-click the icon, and click Close.)

Avoid this problem by setting up the Windows NT host to dis- play DOS programs in a window. If you use a shortcut to a DOS program, for example, right-click the shortcut icon, click Properties, and then click the Options tab. Below Display Options, check Window.
