TeamViewer hangs

[hanskolb]

Hello All.


I just was forced to update from v7 to 8 in order to log in to one of my supported relatives ...

Now, the same old problem (TV hanging) has come back :-(


It ALWAYS happens when TV is closed. Teamviewer.exe uses 50% CPU load, and even Administrator has no chance to kill the process (Teamviewer.exe) by XP Task-Manager or taskkill.exe.

Not even the former "sysinternals" Tools from Microsoft are able to kill the process.

Rebooting also doesn't work properly, at some point I have to hard reset my PC.


At times of TV6 this behaviour made it unusable for me, now, that went to TV8, it's again unusable. Version 7 didn't have this problem on my side.


To be honest, this problem only occurs on one PC, not on any of the PCs I remote control.


Has someone finally found out what causes this behaviour ? All threads I found have not come to a happy end.

Thanks
Hans

There was a another user here who was experiencing network delays het thought were related to the video card:  The resolution ( which may help in this situation was):
This problem is usually caused by hardware acceleration on systems with weak graphic chips. This can simply be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration.

1.) Open the display settings (where you can also adjust your current display's resolution).
2.) Go to "Advanced > Troubleshoot".
3.) Move the hardware acceleration slider to "None".
4.) Confirm by clicking "OK".

This should already resolve the issue.

Many thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately, no success with Hardware acceleration disabled completely. Also, most application requiring activeX are now useless :-(

Anyway, I don't have network delays, with or without TV running ... Networking runs as before, it's just the problem that TV needs 50% of my machine performance doing nothing...

50% CPU load even upon startup of Teamviewer, before starting any remote control session. Just the bare application.


Tried also disabling any proxy usage, as was suggested in some earlier threads.


I wouldn't bother if the TV process would behave like any normal process, could be killed when the Administrator likes, etc.

Neither this is possible, nor does it help shutting down the Teamviewer service (shown running) from the services control panel.


Maybe I should look for the Version 7 on some places, and replace all instances of Ver 8 by good old Ver 7.
