I tried ST early on but ditched it because (at that time) it did not survive a reboot of the remote host. For my purposes of helping friends and relatives remotely fix their computers, this was a critical flaw.

I've heard that ST has now been modified to survive a reboot, but I see no point to going back to it.

Ignition (in my brief exposure thus far) works wonderfully.

Thanks for the input and especially for the heads up.

Don't you miss the audio support?

After trying out 5 apps, I've settled on both ST & LMI. LMI is full-functioned and reliable but ST has audio support and more precise cursor control.

Yes. With ST, you don't have to locate/chase the cursor around like you do with LMI. ST responds directly to screen touches. I wrote the LMI developers about that last year and got the 'we are working on it' response.

Hmmm. I'm going to write ST and tell them about my problem with resizing windows. It can take me many tries before I can finally grab the edge. They have been very responsive so far so I wouldn't be surprised if this were fixed shortly. Oh well, I too now have a respectable collection of remote apps.

Not at all. For my purposes, I don't need audio. Do you find that remote audio facilitates maintenance? Now if I were working an audio issue, I suppose that could come in handy. But I rarely run into an audio problem that isn't solved by unchecking the mute box in audio properties.

I may revisit ST, now that they've sorted out the remote reboot issue. Lord knows I've got enough invested in RDP apps.

So I had to buy it. It's the best of any I've tried thus far and with an established base of remote hosts, I don't have to do remote installs of new RDP software.

speedlever: Did you have Splashtop to compare it to? I having a hard time resizing windows and am hoping that Logmein Ignition will solve that for me.

Please explain window resize. Do you mean making smaller windows larger via the upper corner and have trouble hitting the correct spot?

Hey Mark. Yes that is it exactly. I can sometimes hit the right spot but more often than not I just give up. Maybe I'm missing something because no one else seems to be concerned about it.

Try this. Pinch zoom your screen larger, then 3 finger scroll the screen to the box area to make the box larger and easier to tap
The attached photo is how large I was able to zoom out, making it easier to hit
Hope that helps
