LogMeIn in Windows 7

[Urist]

I have Windows 7 RC. I installed LogMeIn Free on my PC. When I tried it, it didn't recognize my password. I thought I was having a "Brain-Fart" and forgot my password to my computer, but it that's not the case because it's the same on every other computer that I have it on.

Am I missing something?

Hi Urist, welcome to the site

I've not used LogMeIn before, but I have done some reading on their forums and wanted to check you are using the following format to login:

Login should of the format "pc name/username"... for example "UristPC/Urist" (note the / between the pc name and username.

Is there a reason you don't use Remote Desktop? It's built in to W7 and works very well.

There's a nice comparison of RDP vs LogMeIn on this site:

If you can't get it working then perhaps try RDP instead. I use it every day and it has never let me down .
