Using a Tablet notebook to wirelessly control a desktop PC
I have a Vista PC with a large screen LCD screen attached to it. What I want
to do is use a Vista Tablet to be able to control the large screen so can present documents on it such as PowerPoint slide shows and be able to use the functions of the tablet i.e. using the stylus pen to add notes on top of the current document shown on the large screen. Basically use the large screen as a external monitor but have it connect through a wireless network. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what do I need to get it working. Thanks.

You cannot do this easily with the Remote Desktop function built into Windows, because of the different sizes of the screens. You may be able to do it, with some difficulties, when you use a remote control program that allows you to watch the big screen on your tablet PC in reduced size or with scroll bars. I'm not sure whether VNC can do it, but you could find out. Here is a comparison table of different remote desktop programs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...sktop_software Hans-Georg -- No mail, please.

Using a Tablet notebook to wirelessly control a desktop PC
Thanks for the advice, this will work on our wired network, but not on our
wireless network as I think it has some security blocking remote connection programs probably to stop people hacking, what I am wondering is it possible to run this software if somehow I use the Tablet to connect wirelessly direct to the PC using wireless adapters and use the desktop PC as a gateway is this possible.

Using a Tablet notebook to wirelessly control a desktop PC
It works wirelessly, or at least it does with one of our clients who
uses it... --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Thu, 10 Jan 2008 02:27:02 -0800, jamo1 wrote: Thanks for the advice, this will work on our wired network, but not on our wireless network as I think it has some security blocking remote connection programs probably to stop people hacking, what I am wondering is it possible to run this software if somehow I use the Tablet to connect wirelessly direct to the PC using wireless adapters and use the desktop PC as a gateway is this possible.
