Connection

[robrit]

I can connect from my work PC to my home but I cannot connect back to work. Teamviewer opens, accepts my password and minimizes but nothing else. If I try again I am told that the connection is already establshed.  I have turned Mcafee off, I have tried Foxfire and IE - nothing. All computers have Windows 7 and all have Teamviewer 7..0.13989.  I have a Bright House Networks wireless LAN at home and my home PC can connect to my laptop at home, but neither can connect to work.

I get this frequently too

Just say yes to create another connection, and do that a few times until you are connected.
AFAICT you can't go to existing connections...

I'm having this very same problem as well. It's maddening. Worse, I had a flawless connection for 90 minutes before I lost my view of the remote computer. After that, same as described above. I try to connect and I'm told there is already a connection. No remote desktop in site. I've tried numerous times to reconnect. I've tried from other computers and everything else I could think of. Over and over, it's "there is already a connection to this computer" but no computer to be seen. Very frustrating. Could it be a screen saver or something running in the background on the remote machine? Doesn't seem likely since I was hooked up for more than an hour the first time around. Just baffling. I'm finding nothing in the forums or elsewhere on the web. Guess I'll go hit that connection button one more time and hope for a little luck.

Woooow. After countless hours of messing with it, I got the sucker to pop up the remote desktop. What I did: in the interface, when the program was reporting that I did have a connection, in spite of the fact that it wasn't showing the remote computer, I right clicked on the remote computer in question, hit advanced options, and changed the monitor from "inherited" to "primary monitor." Whap! Like that, it popped up. No idea why, since it had been working earlier. But if you're running out of ideas, this is something to try. Godspeed!

EDIT: It worked for about three minutes, that is. Connection lost, same old problem back. I'm not a big Teamviewer fan at the moment.
