Viewing the entire host screen at once

There are two ways to fit the host screen into your view:

•From your computer, lower the resolution of a higher- resolution host screen to match that of your screen.

•Scale the image of the host screen to fit within your view.

Temporarily changing the resolution of the host dis- play adapter When using a laptop to control a desktop, you often can’t view the entire host screen at once if the desktop operates at a higher screen resolution. From your laptop, you can lower the desktop’s screen resolution to match your laptop’s.1

You can then view all of the host screen in full-screen view. The original resolution is restored automatically on discon- nect or at your direction.

To lower the resolution of the host screen to match that of your screen:

1On the Options menu, click Remote Control Options.

2On the Guest tab, check this box: Match Host to Guest.

Clearing the box restores the host to its original resolu- tion.

3Click OK.

Scaling the image of the host screen to fit You can also view the entire host screen at once by scaling the image to fit within the LapLink window. You always see all of the host’s screen, whether you are working in full screen or window, though the image may be distorted or compressed.

To scale the image of the host screen to fit within your view:

•Press CTRL+SHIFT+S.

•Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+S again restores the image to normal.

1You cannot lower the resolution of a host computer unless its monitor and display adapter allow the change without restarting Windows. The host must also be running a ver- sion of LapLink that supports this feature.
