Team Viewer can't run applications in Windows 8

Question

I'm trying to use TeamViewer 8 from a Windows 7 computer to access a Windows 8 computer, and I'm having a strange problem.

The scenario is the following:

1. The connection is fine and I can access the remote computer.
2. I can explore Windows in the remote computer, I mean, I can open File Explorer, Internet Explorer, Control Panel, etc.
3. However, when I try to run any other application in the remote computer that doesn't belong to Windows, I can still view the remote screen, but I can't control the remote computer, I mean, I can't even control de mouse...
4. If then the user of the remote PC closes the application, I have the control of the remote PC again...

Do you know why this is happening?

I've been using TeamViewer from Windows 7 to Windows 7 without problem, so I guess is something about Windows 8, but I don't know what... The teamviewer website says that it's compatible with Windows 8...

EDIT: and in the case nobody knows the solution, can you suggest any other good application for remote control that works well in Windows 8?

Solution

The issue has been solved in recent updates of TeamViewer

ask this the teamveiwer support

"Remote destop" is in my opinion the fastest but not suitable for remote support (i.e. both sides can view the screen) and you'll need a vpn to set it up securely. You could try logmein.com or even google chrome remote control.
