ISSUE: Live Mesh Remote Desktop doesn't work when no monitor is connected to the remote computer
Live Mesh Remote Desktop doesn't work when no monitor is connected to the remote computer. If it still works for you after you've disconnected your monitor, try rebooting.
Solution: Live mesh should be made aware that a monitor can be disconnected. And then also update the option "Show desktop on remote computer" in the future. Because Live mesh doesnt detect a monitor, this option could be made hidden.

I've not encountered what you describe, but then my PCs are not headless. I suspect it isn't an issue with a lack of a monitor, but that a video driver needs to be installed. On the other hand, Live Mesh RD will present a message to a logged on user that someone is looking to connect before actually presenting you with the login, so that a logged in user can deny the request. If no display device is detected, it can't do this.
