On the PC host app: make this a service. I'd like this to launch when Windows starts up! Right now i have to login first before the app loads. Not sure about the Mac side as i haven't tested this out yet.

Mobile Client: Android version PLEASE!

This is a great app. Thanks!

Unfortunately this requires more than just running it as a service, we also have to get it to run in the secure Login desktop, which is a difficult task. We are working on it however and hope to have this in a future update.

Hi ya,

I'm not too bad at windows programming after 30 years I have pretty much everything anybody could want all bought from my ability to use my keyboard adn think around porblems, but the other month when I couldn't walk I spent two whole days on this and didn't get anywhere so I don't know how the devs are coping, I did email a mate at microsoft and his seeing when he can do to help but I wouldnt hold my breath as you will die before this happens sorry... If I get a few hours at the weekend I might have another go at it...

using instructions on this site (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=197) I was able to add the executable as a service on my Win 7 system. What's even more exciting is that when I fire up the app on my iPhone I am able to connect to the server however nothing happens beyond that. Cannot control the mouse, none of the buttons work etc...

I've had an issue last month, with the magnifier being fired up with pinch to zoom action and everytime it happened UAC caused the Mobile Mouse Server to freeze, with the help I got from the support guys I was directed to run the Server as an Administrator and it seemed to fix the problem at the time. After a restart, freezing problem started again so I thought about running it as a service to get around this issue.
I am familiar with programming (mostly web applications, very little desktop experience) and my biggest trouble is finding my way around the permissions in windows, it looks complicated.

Anyway, now that I know there are other people interested in this issue maybe we can put our heads together and make this great app even better.

Official word is that they cant get it working and that it might be added in the future...

There's 2 pieces to this. First is the ability to run our server and maintain control of the computer while a UAC window is open. Although running our server as a service is a requirement to do that, it's only 1 of multiple steps needed. Running our server as a service alone really serves no benefit. If you take a look at the other threads on this, we are hoping to release this in the future, but no target has been set.

The next is being able to control windows that have elevated privileges, such as the Task Manager and the Magnifier screen in Win 7. This should already be possible with our server. We put in the necessary code in our software as well as digitally signed the binary in order to do this. If it's not working that way for windows like this (not including the UAC windows), let us know and we will look into it with you.

The UAC layer is there to stop people stealing your passwords invading your system and protects your files security, do you really think that the guys that wrote the Windows OS would make it easy to run a SERVER that CONNECTS to an OUTSIDE Application even before the desktop or rest of the firewalls virus killers and other security layers are in place... This is a no brainer and is Like I've always said a complete waste of time and rescources... The devs spend too much time saying oh yes that sounds good when they should be saying we cant do it because UAC isn't easy to bypass...

As per normal if someone else thinks I'm wrong put your money/time and coding expertise and that they can bypass it then help out the Devs...
