Make the HOST screen blank when connecting via a remote site

[jsteff]

When I connect from a remote site, I do NOT want my host PC to display all my activity. I just want the host PC screen to remain blank or neutral.

Is there a way to do this without physically turning the monitor off?

Thanks.

Straight from the pcAnywhere help file:

To blank the host computer's screen for all sessions

1 In the pcAnywhere Manager window, click Hosts.
2 Right-click the host connection item, then click Properties.
3 On the Security Options tab, check Blank PC screen after connection.

When we follow your notes we find all everything. BUT
the option "Check Blank PC screen" is DISABLED.

Therefore, we can't choose the option.

Any ideas?

According to Symantec's site, this means your video adapter does not support this option. They had a couple of things you could try to get it to work, but I don't remember what they were.

Have a look for yourself, and let me know if it works for you.
