Remote desktop limitations
Hi All,
I can run remote desktop on my Vista PC and connect to my WinXP PC. I have not been able to make it work the other way. Is this an innate limitation or is this problem solvable?

Remote desktop works in both directions between Vista and XP. On Vista, go to Control Panel System Advanced System Settings Remote. Select "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" and click OK. Then try accessing Vista from XP. If that doesn't solve the problem, please give us more information. How are you trying to connect to the Vista PC from XP? What exactly happens when you do it? If there's an error message, what does it say?

Remote desktop limitations
I'm running MS Home Premium Vista. That particular setting is not available
to me. In advanced remote settings, I can choose to send remote invitations that can only be used by system running Vista. That selection I have left unchecked so that my Vista PC can serve as a remote desktop for my WinXP system. Unless, I can find a selection to permit connections from any version of remote desktop, like you describe, I guess I am defeated.

Only Vista Business and Ultimate can. You can control Vista Home Premium remotely using RealVNC, available free from: http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/index.html Install the server on Vista and the viewer on XP. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

There is a Citrix client on the WinXP Pro CD and there is a Citrix XensServer available for download from http://www.citrix.com/ after registration. Remote Desktop is based on Citrix software and it support Windows GDI API calls. I've put a few happy moments into realvnc and I haven't got it to work yet. Maybe realvnc has a problem with Vista DirectX 10.0?

No, XP Home could never natively act as a Remote Desktop [RDC] host only XP
Pro and MCE editions could. There are/were unsupported hacks that would add this functionality. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows - Desktop User Experience) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
