How can I turn off screen on remote computer with LogMeIn?

How can I turn off screen on remote computer with LogMeIn? I'm using log me in to remotely connect to a computer, however, when I do so, the screen turns on (its a laptop, so no chance of physically unplugging it), and if people are where the computer is, they can see what I do (and even mess with the computer!).

You can no longer change this locally while sitting at the host computer - you can only make the change while in a Remote Control session to the host computer. During the session, on the black toolbar/ribbon that runs along the top of the Remote Control window, click Options, and you will see "Lock keyboard" and "Blank screen."

"Actually, there is an elegant solution which doesn't involve closing laptop lids or dimming displays.

All versions of Logmein (including Free) fully support the following features:

Lock host keyboard and mouse
Blank host screen

The ""Black Screen"" option requires the installation of a DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) driver, which only takes about 5-10 seconds. After that, you can turn the screen on and off at will. The screen will instantly go into power save mode (i.e. the power LED changes colour/blinks etc.) The screen isn't just black, but completely off.

I've been using these features for two years at least - it's nothing new, and works perfectly.

You have to customize your LogMeIn toolbar to get these options to appear.
