Dan, Thank you for replying. I am aware of those features. I was hoping with 11 that we could get control of that mouse! Looks like I will have to remote in and minimize.
Thanks

Hi lcorkren!
When TestComplete executes a test or script, it takes over the mouse and keyboard functions to mimic what a real user would do if they were testing it manually. What you're describing could be done if you use a virtual machine or another physical machine to run your tests. Then you would be free to work on your own desktop or laptop while that test runs.
The reference links below might help.

Free tool to set up a Windows VMs (there are many tools out there, it does require a Windows license):

we use a separte box that has Test Execute installed. That way we can execute our test using Test Execute which frees up our desktop to continue working
To run on another machine, you have test execute installed on your desktop and TestComplete runs on that machine? I looked at the help files for TestExecute, we hav the product but have not put it to use. I am wondering if this would be a good solution for me.
Can you point me to any demo's or articles to other than the help file, so that I can try to set this up?
Thank you!
don't know of any documenst but yes. I have test complete on my desktop and test execute on a seperate machine. I ope test execute then point to the TC project tests to run. work great as it does not tie up my desktop. i am still able to use
