Follow the steps in this support article: Moving a Cloud Seat to a New Computer

β–ΆπŸŒ RGP is running slowly

Slow performance is usually caused by the local internet connection or programs running in the background. Work through the steps below before contacting support.

Step 1
Close unnecessary programs and browser tabs on the cloud desktop

Chrome is the biggest offender. Close anything that isn't RGP, including browser tabs, other applications, and anything running in the background.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 2.
Step 2
Check your local internet connection

Run a speed test on the computer you are connecting from by visiting speedtest.net. If speeds are low or inconsistent, the issue is likely your local network. Reach out to your network administrator.Β 

If your speed test results look normal but RGP Cloud continues to respond slowly, you can also check for network instability by following the instructions under Check Your Internet Connection's Stability (Ping Test) at the bottom of this article.

A ping test can help identify connection problems that may not appear during a standard speed test.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 3.
Step 3
Check whether other seats are slow too

Ask other staff whether they are experiencing the same thing. If it is just one computer, the issue is likely local to that machine. If everyone is slow at the same time, that is worth reporting to support.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, contact support below.

Include the following in your request:

  • The specific facility you are connecting to
  • How many seats are affected
  • What you were doing in RGP when the slowness occurred
  • Whether the slowness affects one computer or all seats at the same time

▢❄️ RGP is frozen
Step 1
Check for minimized windows

Sometimes a report or RGP window is minimized but still open, which can make other windows appear frozen.

  1. Hover over the RGP icons in the taskbar to check whether any reports or other RGP windows are open in the background.
  2. If you find one, close it and check whether RGP is responsive again.

  1. Click on the cloud desktop to make sure it is active.
  2. Navigate to the Task Manager on the cloud desktop via the Windows Icon.
  3. Right-click the frozen RGP task and select End Task.
Task Manager with 'End task' option highlighted.
βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 3.
Step 3
Sign out of Windows in the cloud
  1. On the cloud desktop, click the Windows icon in the bottom left corner.
  2. Click the user icon and choose Sign Out.
  3. Once signed out, reconnect to the cloud host and check whether the issue is resolved.

Enter your credentials

This can appear after changes to your computer's domain. Click Cancel on the error, select your connection profile, click Edit, make no changes, click OK, then try reconnecting.

Windows Security login prompt
Status Code: 401 - Unauthorized (Facility lookup failed)

Your DNS Endpoint or DNS Port is likely incorrect. Click Edit on your connection profile and check both fields against other working profiles at your facility, letter by letter.

Error message: Unauthorized, Status Code 401
Status Code: 401 - Unauthorized (Username and password do not match)

Your username or password is incorrect. Click Edit and double-check your username. If you have a personal seat, re-enter your password. Personal seats can reset their password at app.rgprocloud.net/reset. If unsure, contact your Cloud Organization Admin.

Unauthorized access error message.
The system cannot find the file specified

This usually indicates an issue with the RGP Cloud Client installation. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the RGP Cloud Client.

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer

Open your connection profile and confirm the Use authorization service when connecting box is checked. If it was already checked, confirm your internet connection is working and try connecting with a different profile if available.

Remote Desktop Connection error message
The remote name could not be resolved: api.rgprocloud.net

This is commonly related to the facility's network, DNS, firewall, or security settings. Contact your IT provider or Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance. Ask them to verify that api.rgprocloud.net can be resolved and is not being blocked by their DNS, firewall, VPN, or security filtering.

Note: If your facility moved to a hotspot because of internet issues, this message may also appear because some hotspots do not allow remote desktop connections.

Don't see your error listed, or did the suggested fix not work? Return to the Jump to Your Symptoms section above and continue based on your symptoms or number of seats that cannot connect.

β–ΆπŸ’» One seat can't connect (other seats can connect)
Step 1
Check for clues from the error message

Some error messages have a specific fix you can try. Check the ⚠️I see an error message section above.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If you don't see your error listed or if the suggested fix did not work, continue to Step 2.
Step 2
Confirm your internet connection
  • If you could not open this article on that computer: Your computer may not be connected to the internet. Reach out to your network administrator.

  • If this article loaded slowly: Your connection may be weak or unstable. Reach out to your network administrator.
  • If this article loaded normally: Double-check your network. If you are on Wi-Fi at the facility, try moving closer to the router. If you are off-site, make sure the network you are on allows remote desktop connections.
Public Wi-Fi networks (hotels, coffee shops, libraries, hospitals) often allow internet access but block remote desktop connections, which RGP Cloud requires. Ask a staff member at the location whether their network allows remote desktop connections.

Is your connection working intermittently?

Even if websites load normally, your computer may be experiencing brief network interruptions that affect RGP Cloud.

If you can sometimes connect but experience unexpected disconnections or intermittent connection failures, follow the instructions under Check Your Internet Connection's Stability (Ping Test) at the bottom of this article.

If the test shows packet loss or inconsistent response times, share the results with your network administrator.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 3.
Step 3
Reboot your computer

Rebooting can fix backend issues that are preventing the connection. After rebooting, try connecting again.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 4.
Step 4
Confirm your connection profile settings

Open your connection profile and click Edit. Carefully check each of the following:

  • DNS Endpoint: Must match your facility exactly. The most common issue is a misspelling. For example, entering xxx.rgpcloud.net instead of xxx.rgprocloud.net.
  • DNS Port: Must match other working connection profiles at your facility. A single incorrect digit will prevent connection.
  • Username: Double-check spelling, including periods or special characters.
  • Password (personal seats): Re-enter your password carefully. Confirm Caps Lock is off.
If you are unsure of the correct DNS Endpoint, DNS Port, username, or password, contact your facility's Cloud Organization Admin.
βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 5.
Step 5
Delete and re-add your connection profile

With help from your Cloud Organization Admin, delete your connection profile and download it again. See How to Move a Cloud Seat to a New Computer for instructions.

β–ΆπŸ”„ Seats keep getting disconnected
Step 1
Check your network stability

Frequent disconnects usually point to an unstable internet connection. RGP Cloud requires a constant connection β€” even a fraction of a second of lost internet will drop the session, even if web pages still load normally.Β 

You can check for network instability by following the instructions under Check Your Internet Connection's Stability (Ping Test) at the bottom of this article.

If the test shows packet loss or inconsistent response times, contact your network administrator. They may suggest rebooting your modem and router or contacting your Internet Service Provider for further testing.

βœ“ Did this fix it? If yes, you're done. If no, continue to Step 2.
Step 2
Switch to Ethernet

Wi-Fi networks, though convenient, can be unreliable. If at all possible, connect the affected computers directly to your router using an Ethernet cable.

Check Your Internet Connection's Stability (Ping Test)

The ping test can help identify dropped packets, connection timeouts, unstable latency, or local network issues. To run this test, follow the steps below:

  1. In the Windows Start menu, search for Command Prompt.
  2. Open Command Prompt and type: ping google.com -t
  3. Press Enter.

This command continuously sends test packets to Google and measures how long it takes to receive a response. Under normal conditions, you should see consistent replies with stable response times.

While the test is running, watch for any of the following signs of network instability:

  • Request timed out
  • PING: transmit failed. General failure.
  • Large jumps in response times (ms)
  • Frequent or repeated interruptions in replies

These can all indicate issues with the local network, Wi-Fi connection, modem/router, or ISP connection. Β If possible, leave the test running while using the software or until the issue occurs again.

To stop the ping test, press: CTRL + C

This will display a summary including:

  • Packets sent
  • Packets received
  • Packet loss percentage
  • Minimum, maximum, and average response times

In the screenshot below, you can see examples of:

  • Successful replies
  • β€œRequest timed out” messages
  • β€œGeneral failure” errors
  • Large variations in response times

These can all indicate network instability or intermittent connectivity issues.

Packet loss or highly inconsistent response times can indicate an unstable network connection. In these cases, we recommend contacting your ISP or IT directly.Β
