Remote desktop

I guess the best thing to do is to remote into the desk top, then run a seperate wire from the laptop hdmi to the monitor hdmi. Just thought someone else might have the same issue. Thanks for all the help.

Lilke I said, I run long wires from my laptop to my amp & TV when I'm at home so I don't have to walk across the room. Wires are inexpensive and if you have Hoster's full version, you can put a second copy on your laptop. When you find out how to set up Remote viewing, I would be curious to know if you will be able to see & control Hoster. I hope you'll post back.

Just thought of something......if you're going to do it remotely, then why would you need another video/hdmi cable, if everything is already hooked up to your desktop?

Depending on how expensive of an adaptor / wiring setup you wish to explore... here is an attachment to Monoprice.com that may give you some ideas, as well as a decent price for cables (hdmi) and other wiring options.

The remote works fine except for the second monitor. You can control everything in hoster except the 2nd monitor. I think I can use dual monitors on my laptop and that way I can operated the complete system from my laptop almost wireless with the exception of the wire going to the tv monitor.

PS Thanks for the site info on the hdmi cables...

If you have windows 7 professioal or higher you can use it as the host computer. Lower versions of windows 7 wont work as the host.

Sounds like you already are set up remotely? I thought that's what you were asking how to do it or if it could be done? Did you get the info to do this from Microsoft or is it part of Win7?

I wanted to do it without the other hdmi cable. Thought someone might know of other remote software that would let me run multiple monitors. Microsoft told me windows 7 software doesn't allow it.

Thanks for all the help though.

The Intel "I5" and higher processors contain a wireless Audio/Video feature that allows you to "transmit" to a $100-$150 HDMI receiver. MTUSUPPORT tried it and found;

1. The image was cleaner than he'd ever seen.

2. He put the receiver over 50 feet away and had no A/V dropouts or image degradation.

This is a vastly superior direction over long HDMI cables, and may even be cheaper.
