    Are your browser versions the same on your laptop and virtual machine?

    The latest Chrome, Edge browsers have been causing issues for the ObjectSpy.

    Be careful here in case you do have older browser version son your VM versus a newer version on your laptop.  Checking the About in the browser auto updates and I do not want you to lose your VM working browsers.

    this is giving me fits. I was able to spy (get the red box around) a couple of objects in my browser by doing the Windows Key+P and having everything just on my laptop screen instead of multi-monitors but even that isn't working now. Spy is putting the red box around the entire browser page rather than just the element over which my mouse is hovering. I have the latest version of chrome and the latest version of testcomplete. what else can i try?
