Teamviewer closes randomly
« on: March 03, 2014, 03:05:39 PM »
I use Teamviewer to help my family and friends with their computers and recently I updated my computer and installed Teamviewer on it.  Since I updated my computer Teamviewer seems to close randomly.  I am able to re-start Teamviewer and have the other person tell me the password again and get back in, but its a nuisance.  I actually taken to writing down the password it happens so often.  I am hoping someone has a solution to this.

I am running Windows 7, all the windows updates are applied and I try to keep all my software up to date.

Thanks

it closes randomly on your side or their side?
I would try to un install and reinstall teamviewer and see if the issue remains first.

I closes on my side. I reconnect by restarting teamviewer and and since the other end is still running fine I use the same password.  Happens so frequently that I have taken to writing down the password when helping someone.  Spent a bunch of time with my mother yesterday... she's 88 and recently changed from a PC to a MAC and having issues.  Teamviewer stayed up between 5 and 20 minutes minutes at a time.

I have already uninstalled and re-installed.  I am going to do it again but the do a thorough search for anything left behind and get rid of and teamviewer folders/setting before installing again.  Hopefully that will help

how old is your system? Sometimes the newest versions of TeamViewer do not run as well on older hardware

Good idea.  I just tested between 2 machines here at home and it happened again.  Time to open a ticket

Thanks for your time on this
