![]() ![]() Use your head for that part, and remember: this article is more about how you cannot instill integrity with software. ![]() I would change the port number that accepts the connection as well. About renaming a service, maybe try this link: and please post back. ![]() I still have it installed in a virtual machine which I cannot distribute, for obvious reasons. I do not have a link to the version that I have. Then you would be able to connect to the computer that is taking a test and use the functionality of multitasking as well. If you can’t run an application, why not run a service? Install TightVNC and run a VNC viewer as a service. All that tells me to do is think outside of the box. That just tells me they added a function to test the virtual hardware to see if the program is running inside a virtual machine. Trying to run it did result in the message saying something along the lines of “Respondus cannot run in virtualization software such as VirtualPC, VMWare, or Parallels.” I deleted the version of the Respondus Lockdown Browser that I had installed in XP inside of VirtualBox, and installed what they said was the ‘new’ version. Then pass the knowledge onto teachers to let them know the program is useless unless it is installed on a standalone school PC. Try VMWare, VirtualBox, or VirtualPC and install Windows, then install the browser within it. When running Respondus on a virtualized system, the most the browser can do is prevent multitasking on the guest OS, which doesn’t matter when the host OS is capable of doing so. The browser attempts to prevent the user from opening new windows and keep users from multitasking while taking a “secure” test online. As I don’t natively run Windows on my machine, I was installing it on my guest Windows XP system. While installing software for the semester on my home computer, I found a way around the Respondus LockDown Browser. Well, it’s more of a “Haha, fudge you,” to the developer. I have now found a couple more workarounds for this software, just for the record. I also suggest if you work for the developer, you should pay me for the workaround this time because your code is lazy. I suggest to institutions not to use Respondus. ![]()
