What is the current version of the client for Windows 7?
I reinstalled the client to v0.9.39 (BETA), but the screen is still black and white.
The server was also reinstalled to 1.0.50 and everything is fine with it if I connect through the android app.

Client for Windows 7 is not maintained very much any more.
But still it should not expire (I just double checked).
Are you really sure?
Anyway, our engineers will have a detailed look at this tomorrow…

Upload a patch for windows 7 please, it’s necessary, it’s the only program I have, it’s my secondary PC, I need it

[spacedesk Marcel]

Confirmed: We will upload a new Windows 7 version of spacedesk Server within the next few hours.

Hi @pablo247
New spacedesk Server/Driver v1.0.50 for Windows 7/8.1 is now released.
This new version should fix the black and white screen issue on your side.

[pablo247]

I’m going to try it right away but I want to clarify that my black and white screen happens on the secondary pc

[pablo247]

there download and install everything again the problem persists because on my main pc everything works fine but on my secondary pc it is still black and white

[spacedesk Marcel]

What exactly is your problematic configuration?
spacedesk Driver/Server on Windows 10 or Windows 7?
spacedesk Viewer on Windows 10 or Windows 7?
Or spacedesk Viewer on something else (e.g. iOS, Android)?

Please download KB3063858 update for windows 7.

I have a desktop pc that I use as a server with windows 10 and it works perfectly but on my all in one pc that I use as a client it looks black and white that has windows 7

[spacedesk Marcel]

The spacedesk Driver/Server is the one that expires.
Update needed for your spacedesk Driver/Server on Windows 10:
Install spacedesk Driver/Server version: Beta RC v1.0.50 (from spacedesk website)

Please also make sure that the Viewer/Client is up to date as well.
For your spacedesk Viewer on Windows 7 you have two alternative options:
– Install spacedesk Viewer for Windows 7 Beta III v0.9.39 (from spacedesk website)
– Use spacedesk HTML Viewer v0.9.10(follow link on spacedesk website)

I just updated everything again as you indicated and it’s still in black and white
I tried the html but there is a lot of lag so I will abandon the best program in the world “spacedesk” until they release a new update, it is a pity because I used it exclusively for work. but thank you for your time and help

I fixed my Black and White issue on the Console by Clearing the Spacedesk Setting on the lower right Settings section. Worked instantly.

Hi @davidsaylor777,
Thank you very much for this hint. We will suggest this to other users.

Hi @pablo247,
Please try this “Clear spacedesk Settings” button in the spacedesk Driver console.
