>>>1. Often times when I take over the customer computer or server I cannot click on the Windows Start button. That is, I can click on it and the customer says that the menu comes up, but I don't see it. So, the customer has to place some shortcuts for me on the server desktop (e.g. Computer Manager, etc.)

>>>2. Font/screen size. I often struggle to see the fonts/text on the customer computer/server. If I increase the screen size (by pressing on + or - on GoToMeeting), the fonts/text seem to increase but then I have to scroll up and down all the time in order to see the top or the bottom part of the screen.

>- If users have 2 monitors, often stuff comes up on the "other" monitor so user needs to drag it to the visible monitor before you can use it. I wonder if that's part of your menu issue? Anyway, I believe Gotomeeting does have setting/s for both monitors to be displayed, but then you'd definitely want the 4K monitor IMHO and you shouldn't need 2 monitors to install most apps anyway.

I don't have a 4K monitor. I will have to investigate the cost and how it will effect my work. I do have two monitors but I don't think they are 4K since I bought them years ago.

I know the "issue" with the customer having two monitors. I usually ask them to drag windows from the 2nd one to the one they share. And I do ask them not to share both monitors; otherwise, the font/text is super small.
Thank you for your reply.
