teamviewer kicks me off when i switch users

[capr]

hey, teamviewer keeps kicking me off when i click on switch user on the remote computer, and then again when i log in to a different user.... not sure why it does it but it's getting a little annoying. I need to be able to log on, switch users and check on a few things, and switch users back so whoever was working on the computer can keep working.

logmein doesn't do this... it lets you sit there through the switches and is much more convinient when it comes to this...

is there an option with teamviewer to make it not kick me off?

thanks,

rk

Teamviewer is running for the user, not the computer. Logmein is a service running with Windows.

You can't switch users when running teamviewer. When you change users, the internet connection is stopped so that is why your being kicked off

Teamviewer does what you want -- you just you have to install it, and you have to give it a password to use to connect.

It also supports a VPN connection now as well.

I would HIGHLY suggest people RTFM on a product they are wanting to use ;)

You might actually learn something ;)

i am not an idiot... i have read and i have it running as a service...

that's why i CAN switch users... but it seems to kick me off every time windows is going to the welcome screen and every time it's coming back from the welcome screen.

so basically i am being kicked off as windows goes through the log in and log on processes.

Who said you were an idiot???

You made no mention that you had it installed as a service in your post.

I will enable this on one of my home boxes and check logging out of a user and back in as a different user.

edit: I just installed on my kids (xp pro) home machine (connected to my home vpn and used remote desktop to install) I then connected to it from work using teamview. Log out of account1 - see welcome screen, logged into account2, logged out back to welcome screen and then back into account1 -- never lost connection. Worked just as it is suppose to.

Are you using some type of internet connection that might get disconnected by user logout? PPPoE or something?

This took like 20 seconds to setup and works just as it is suppose too.

Try this.

Go into the Options panel > Advanced [tab] > Full access control when a partner is connecting to the windows logon screen.

This is untested to work in your situation, but it might work
