Version 7.0.2.0 - When connecting to a laptop system, I connect and log on successfully, however the remote desktop display just says "Connecting to xxx Laptop, please wait..."  Never get a remote control or remote view session.  All the other tools (file transfer, command line, etc.) work fine.

A different PC on the same network works fine.

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve?

Thanks

Hello Dominick,

Thank you for your message.

Please double-check if you've updated both your Hosts and Viewer to the latest version 7.0.2.0 in order to avoid the version mismatch.
If both Host and Viewer are updated to the latest version, but the issue still persists, please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode feature in the Host Settings -> Other tab and see if this helps to resolve the issue.

Please make sure to restart Host after enabling the feature in order for the changes to be applied. You can also edit Host Settings remotely via the Remote Settings feature - in this case Host be will restarted automatically.

Hope that helps.
