What is LogMeIn?LogMeIn is a remote-access product that allows users to control one computer from another computer. We utilize this diverse product to allow the remote attendee to access and control a computer at the classroom location where the instructor is teaching. These computers will have all the necessary programs for you to complete your course exercises.

What is a Virtual Machine? A virtual machine is a simulation of a machine different from the physical (host) machine you are using. Learning Tree uses software by VMware as the virtual machine software. Most course exercises are loaded onto a virtual machine through VMware.

Accessing Your Virtual Machine

A virtual machine is a simulation of a machine that is usually different from the host machine (where it is being simulated on). Most course exercises are run in a virtual machine. The host machine is usually not used for running the exercises.

Should you login to the machine and the desktop is BLACK in color, as seen to the right, you are on the host machine and not the virtual machine.

To get to the virtual machine, please follow the directions listed below:

1 Double click on the icon. The course number for your event may be different than shown in the example.

2 You will see the machine loading when the screen displays Restoring virtual machine state.

3 Next you will see your virtual machine that will have all your course exercise material with a blue background.

You can also tell this is a virtual machine by the drop-down menu at the top of the screen. You may have to hover your mouse at the top of the screen for the drop-down menu to appear.

Screen ResolutionDue to varying screen resolutions, it is often necessary to adjust the screen resolution of your virtual exercise machine to suit your monitor. There are a couple of ways to do this.

Should this not resolve the issue, you can adjust the resolution on the computer itself:

Right click on the desktop and select Properties.

Right click on the desktop and select Screen Resolution.

Select the Resolution drop-down menu option and adjust accordingly.

Select OK to save the changes.

Select Settings and manually adjust to your liking.

Select OK to save the changes.

1 At the top of the LogMeIn screen is a black bar. You may need to hover your mouse at the top for the black bar to appear. Select the blue monitor icon with a diagonal arrow.

2 Select Match Resolution and this should automatically adjust to your computer’s resolution.
