How to deal with Teamviewer Blank Screen Problem

Teamviewer Blank Screen Problem Solution

I have encountered this problem and I wanted to share this solution to all Teamviewer Users.

The Problem

I have this remote computer that’s running in 24/7 under Windows XP. It’s a surveillance PC where I check the shop with a web camera installed and TeamViewer installed. The problem is when ever I connect to this remote PC I always encounter a blank screen.

My Findings

So to do away with the problem, I reboot the remote computer by click the Action>Remote Reboot>Reboot in the toolbar. After I restarted the remote computer I was be able to access the it.
reboot teamviewer

But that’s not the real solution. I have encountered the problem again and just reboot the remote computer. I tried re-installing the TeamViewer using the latest version but still the problem reoccurs.

So I re-analyzed the problem and just noticed that it was the screen saver that’s causing the problem. When I removed the screen saver the problem was gone.

Wrap-up

1.) Download the latest version of Teamviewer.
2.) Disable the screen saver under control panel display properties.

    Very well said Jhong. Though I don't use a TeamViewer, am sure readers using such and experiencing such problem will surely have this post as a blessing.

    Hi Jhong,

    Thanks for your detailed explanation. If you use a non-password protected screensaver the connection should work without any problems. Otherwise I can also offer you send your logfiles to our support team in order to clarify if there is anything else causing the blank screen in combination with TeamViewer.

    Best,
