Hi,
I really did read the FAQ, and some of other threads about the issue, but I'm still confused, and need help.
Some system info:
server running win8.1 laptop
viewer running win8.1 pro desktop with two monitors
Installed only silent server on laptop
Installed only viewer on desktop
On the server:
I set two different passwords for vnc, and view-only
under keyboard & mouse I have not checked anything (all 3 options are blank)
When I connect from the desktop I can see the laptop, but can do anything, there is a very small square as the cursor that I can move around.
Please note I am not an IT person, and need as simple as possible language, I am using ultravnc to control the laptop that is at a store where I am not always present.
Thank you

cannot control the server machine
Re: cannot control the server machine
Once connected with the viewer, click the 3rd viewer toolbar button (Show Connection Options...) and make sure "View only (inputs ignored)" is not checked.

Sorry for late reply, travelling w/o connection.
Thank you for the reply, but like said that option is left blank (not checked).

Re: cannot control the server machine
The "View only (inputs ignored)" setting is under the Display section and not the Mouse and Keyboard section.
If that is not checked, then I would recommend removing uVNC from the server and re-install with a new configuration file (ultravnc.ini).

Thank you.
I am away from the intended viewer, I installed the viewer on a windows 7 laptop, and was able to connect, and control the server, I did not do anything differently in this installation than the previous one on the desktop machine; I hope when I get again to that one it'll be just what you suggested; I don't recall that setting during connection screen, but I'll double check when I'll be back - will be a few days before I can do that.
