Question

Limited to Desktop Sharing Only

As of today, I can only share my desktop using Adobe Connect. I can no longer share individual applications or windows.

Concidentally, a number of Microsoft updates were applied to my Windows 7 laptop late yesterday (December 11th, 2013). Sharing worked fine for extended sessions earlier in the day yesterday and Tuesday, so this is a very recent development. I have already tried rebooting my laptop.

I am running version 11.2.385.0 of he Adobeconect Add-In, Firefox 25.0.1, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

    By chance, are you using a dual monitor system and trying to share applications/windows on your second monitor? Whenever doing application or window sharing Connect defaults to your primary monitor (this has bit me more than once!).

    While I often use a dual monitor configuration with this laptop, I was not doing so during any of the 3 Adobeconnect sessions I hosted this week (the first two completely normal, the last limited to desktop-only sharing).

    I verified that the laptop "saw" only its internal display, and had rebooted the laptop while it was using only its internal display as well.

    This problem still exists for me. I can only share my desktop, not individual applications. Windows 7 64bit, latest updates applied.
