Need help, cant see DOS window

Post by elpiloto »

Hi,
First of all my english is very poor :|
Im using Ultr@VNC Win32 Server V1.0.0 RC20.3, the server is a machine that use Win95 (why win95?? becausae the soft that i use to work works only under win95)and the viewer is under xp.
So PC1=Server win95 and PC2 Viewer win xp
The thing is that when i open a full screen DOS window in PC1 using PC2 i cant see it in PC2 , but if i take a look at the server screen, the DOS window is opened, but in PC2 i only see the PC1´s desktop and not the DOS window

Is there some way to see the dos window??

Thanks in advance
Hernan

This is a common problem for many remote control products.

While there are commercial products with the remote full screen command line feature, neither VNC flavors nor MS RDP/Terminal Services support it.

If, by chance, you press Alt-Enter while typing into a remote command line window, the remote screen freezes, but if you type Alt-Enter once more, you regain control with the no-longer-full-screen command line/MS-DOS window.

If your software requires a full screen MS-DOS window, you are out of luck, sorry.

This is not a feature that can be easily incorporated, as capturing full screen DOS windows is a totally different technique. You may need a specialized DOS product.
