Boster Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Hi there. I have just found out (by reading the threads here), that Lanview is no more! Great shame. Does anyone know of a suitable program that did what Lanview did - woring on Wondows 7 O/S please? Thanks
Oaktech Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 its not in current development, but it seems to still works just fine!
Boster Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Do you know where I can get a download link please? Thanks
synaesthesia Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Lanview 4 works fine with Windows 7 although it's a little unreliable. Not anywhere near as bad as crap like iTalc, though.
Oaktech Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Lanview 4 works fine with Windows 7 although it's a little unreliable. Not anywhere near as bad as crap like iTalc, though. It's 'a little unreliable' on windows XP too...
Boster Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 I tried the link but I keep getting an error message saying the 'IE8 was unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.' I have tried both the actual link and the download button on the right, both times I get the same message.
Oaktech Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 you may be falling foul of some filtering somewhere as the software is hosted on a windows live skydrive. I can download with no problems so you might need to download from another connection, such as at home!
Boster Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) OK, cheers, I will try from home to-night. I have just tried another computer that is off the filtering software and managed to download the file. The only problem now is that when i try to run the file on the server, it says it is an unknown file type so does not open etc. Should i have another file to open this one?

chazzy2501 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Damn, they've been talking to me for nearly a year! I kept meaning to try the free version for ages. Oh well, looks like impero is the only real choice now. (not that any teacher wants this kind of software) 1

It's missing the .exe extension on the download. if i manually enter a filename in the save download box with a exe extension it works fine... you should be able to right click and rename file and add the .exe extension to your already downloaded file.
Boster Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Great! Just ran the software when a message appeared stating that Symantec had detected a 'back door trojan' then at the bottom of the details screen it said 'Action taken; Cleaned by Deletion' Did you get this problem? Do we carry on now as the (hopefully) trojan is deleted?
hit Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 (not that any teacher wants this kind of software) our teaching staff said that until I got Impero in and showed them, now they can't do without it! 1

Do we carry on now as the (hopefully) trojan is deleted? It's a false positive which is due to the methods used to remote control the PC being very similar to that used in a hacking attempt. You either need to disable your anti-virus for the duration of installation, or add the software to a whitelist somewhere, i'm not sure how to do that for your anti virus. we don't have a problem with it and eset av. You need to run the install again, as the bit it thinks is a trojan is pretty critical!
Boster Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 OK cheers for that. We have to close now until Tuesday - something to do with Easter!!! Hope you have a good un'
Oaktech Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 You're welcome, Have a good one too! (please feel free to thank my posts, and/or add to my repuatation if you feel i've been helpful!)
jur1904 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Hi i just downloaded the Lanview softwaer, but i cant seem to use it to view the pcs in the network? can you help?
synaesthesia Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Is the client installed on the computers you wish to view? Can you check the VNC service is running on the clients?
