    TeamViewer


    TeamViewer Installation & a few useful features


    This is one of my favorite programs for remote connection to other computers
    across the internet.

    Download the Free personal / non-commercial version.

    http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx


    Setup is easy and straight forward.



    You can install it to your HD for repeated use or run it for a once only use.

    I installed it as personal / non-commercial use.

    Put check marks in the two License Agreement boxes to continue.

    I used the Normal (default) installation as you can change the advanced options later.

    It is best to install with full access if you want somebody to help work on your computer
    or you want to set up yours for remote access from another location.

    Then the basic installation is finished.

    Now you can test it with another TeamViewer user or another remote computer you have set up.

    The Connection screen will show you two panels when connected to the internet. The left side panel
    shows your waiting for session ID ( usually a 9 digit code ) and a password code. These are what you
    provide to your connection partner to allow them to access YOUR computer. A new password code will be
    generated each time you end Team Viewer & exit it, & then run it again. This is for security purposes.


    The right side panel is for you to connect to a partner's computer. They provide you with their ID &
    password codes for easy connection.

    In the next screen snip, it shows how you can setup your computer for remote unattended access from any other
    computer where you are. You assign TeamViewer a permanent password, secure to you. Therefore it is best to
    check the box "Start TeamViewer with Windows"

    Now I have entered an ID & password for one of my network computers & connected to it remotely. I have chosen
    an option to have the wallpaper of the remote computer blacked out for easier viewing. The menu bar is located
    at the top of the remote computer screen in the center. The big X on the left of the menu Exits & terminates the
    connection.

    The File Transfer window lets you transfer files back & forth between both computers.
    The only problem I found was Win7 does not like letting TeamViewer access to User & Library files,
    so I have had to move them to a different folder, usually off the root directory of any of the HDs.





    If the remote computer is connected to other computers on a network, it is possible to access certain HD's
    and folders that have sharing permissions. By using Windows Explorer on the remote computer.



    You can even browse the internet with the browser on the remote computer.



    I have had several remote connections running 24/7 for weeks at a time as long as there were NO power failures
    or internet (ISP) dropping of the connection. I have even connected a webcam to see views from inside the
    building at the remote computer location. The webcam could be turned off or on via the TeamViewer connection.




    I hope this forum post was informative and that it may encourage you to try and use TeamViewer.

    I couldn't agree with you more pal .... very nice run down.
    I use team viewer allot, I just hope that it doesn't become so good that we have to start paying for it ... although I must say it would be worth the money it's so quick and easy compared to some of the other remote software out there.

    Just this week I used TeamViewer to remotely connect to a novice student's computer. Ran MalWareBytes. Found 18 incidents of SpyWare & cleaned them. Did a remote re-boot & re-connected which is a TeamViewer option. Then determined their AVG anitvirus was starting a scan every time they started up their computer. So re-configured the scans times & days to scan differently than startup, so it was not slowing down their computer when they were first getting started. Another satisfied user

    My mentor has used TeamViewer to instruct me on BSOD analysis. It works very well.
