remote control isn't working for me!!
Hello,
Thank you for your message.
Could you please clarify if you want to connect from your laptop at home to your PC at the office using the Direct connection?
In order to connect to the remote Host machine using the Direct connection, the Viewer and Host must be on the same LAN or VPN. Here's a relatable article on establishing a connection over LAN: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/connecting-over-lan/
You can also establish a direct connection over the Internet, but in order to directly access a Host which is located behind a router over the Internet, you must create a port forwarding rule in the router settings on the Host side.
However, you can connect to the remote Host located behind a router easier, by using an Internet-ID connection. Here's a guide on establishing the Internet-ID connection: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/connecting-over-the-internet/
Let me know if you have more questions.

Host computer is rotated on Viewer screen
Hello Erica,
Thank you.
I got the screenshot, I'll forward the issue to our developers and ask for their input.
In the meantime, please double check that the ASUS Transformer Tablet has the latest video card drivers installed.
I'll keep you updated on the issue.

Lost my Internet IDs
Hello,
Yes, the AppData folder might be hidden in your system by default. You need to enable Show hidden files and folders in your system first.
Here's a related article from Microsoft on how to do it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14201/windows-show-hidden-files
Hope that helps.

Hello,
Thank you for your message.
Automatic daily backups of address books are already enabled by default. The default location for your backups is: C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\backups\ (if you use Windows 7 or higher).
Here is a guide on how to restore your General address book from a backup: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/backing-up-address-books/#Restoring_an_address_book_from_a_backup
The same process can be used to restore any other address book for which you have a backup XML file.
Hope that helps.

Hello Ginger,
Thank you for your message.
Could you please clarify if the window is visible on the remote Host machine? Please try enabling the Capture alpha-blending windows feature. Here is a related KB article: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/some-windows-or-menus-are-not-visible/ Hope that helps.
Also, you can try using the File transfer mode. For more information on the File transfer connection mode please refer to this article: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/file-transfer/
