Download Crossloop 2.41

Last Friday a new version of Crossloop was released. With this program a connection can be made with another computer to provide assistance there, for example. The program is based on Tightvnc with its own user shell around it, with the emphasis on simplicity in use. That way, a layman on the other hand can easily be instructed to install the program and set up a connection. Every time the program is started, it generates a unique 12-digit code that must be passed on to the person who wants to take over the PC. In addition, the receiving side also has to confirm once that the PC can be taken over.

The program is free to use and an account only needs to be created if you intend to sell your knowledge and experience to others. For example, statistics about your sessions are kept, payments can be set up and implemented and others can give you an appreciation for the help provided. Here’s what’s changed in this release:

CrossLoop V2.41

• Improved Screen Sharing: Screen sharing now supports scaling and multiple monitors. The default scaling is automatic, however full scaling or no scaling options are available at run time.
• Access to CrossLoop Helpers: The CrossLoop client has a footer which provides access to the CrossLoop Helpers. The access is provided using a search widget where search terms can be entered into the client.
• Two Minute Timeout Assistance: In the event of a two minute countdown timeout when a “Connect” is done from the Share tab, a dialog is displayed giving possible solutions:
  • Did you give your Access Code to your Helper?
  • Does your Helper have your correct Access Code?
  • Click here to Find a Helper
• New User Startup: The CrossLoop client now displays a dialog at startup with the ability to Create Account. The user may also choose to either login or skip.
• Handling /VERYSILENT Installs: In the event that the CrossLoop client is installed with the Inno Setup /VERYSILENT switch, the user will be prompted to accept the End User License Agreement.
• Share Tab Default: The CrossLoop client now defaults to the Share Tab after the initial installation. This will make it easier for Helpers to instruct Customers when they launch CrossLoop to share their screen.
• Helper Thumbnail Displayed on Share Dialog: The CrossLoop client will now display the Helper thumbnail when the client has connected with the Share tab.
• Bug Fix: Logged in Helper Computer Resuming from Sleep Mode A bug has been fixed in the CrossLoop client which now correctly restores the Helpers presence when a computer is resumed after sleeping.
• Bug Fix: Client Running but not in the Tray A bug has been fixed in the CrossLoop client where it was possible to have the CrossLoop client running, but not visible in the tray. This would occur if a Helper logged out of CrossLoop when in the run at startup mode.
