With no monitors at host computer, client gets black screen
With no host monitors there is only a blank screen at the client computer. None of our LogMeIn installs have a mirror driver installed. What needs to change to allow people to see two displays remote...

Ok, got some information on this from LogMeIn support. If you want to run the workstation to be accessed with no monitors, but want dual (or more) monitor support remotely, then you can use Headless Monitor Emulators plugged in where your 2nd (or more) monitors would be plugged-in. I haven't tried yet, but I did order the emaulators on amazon. You can get 3-packs for under $20 depending on port type.

MrWizard77 I was able to do this with my Host PC by simply reconnecting the VGA cords without any displays.

AshC Interesting... I wonder if that will work with HDMI and Display cables too.

This is absolutely possible. Go to the following site and download this virtual USB monitor:
https://www.amyuni.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3030Follow the instruction shown there, it will let you install up to 4 virtual screens, I just tested them and they work with LMI once the real monitors have been disconnected from the host PC.
You're welcome!- keithhumanitzki2 years agoRegular VisitorThe download of the usb monitor works. I was able to install it with logmein's file manager and command prompt. I am not sure if it just the testing i did piror to this but i first had a valid 1920x1080 resolution but after reboot i am stuck at 640x480. 1920x1080 is the default amyuni usb monitor resolution.
- keithhumanitzki2 years agoRegular VisitorIt looks like once you login to your remote host. If you run usbmmidd.bat again it restores all the resolutions that are contained in the usbmmidd.inf. thank you again amyuni for this! Maybe running the install from the remote command prompt it only had 640x480.. cute relization I was able to tab my way around display settings and change the orientation. Hope this helps someone else.
