I have installed remote desktop on a windows XP
computer. I am able to connect with the remote desktop
client from a win 2000 computer, win XP home (pre service
pack 1.) On these machines it works fine.
When I try to connect from my windows XP professional
(Service pack 1) machine, I can log on, get to the
desktop but can not click on the desktop icons or the
start menu after about 30 seconds my session
disconnects. This machine is on a cable modem with a
decent connection speed (631 kb at the time of may last
connection)
I read in a knowledge base article that the windows logon
file is different from the original version of XP ( don't
know if that make a difference)
One last thing that I did notice is that my friend's
machine is using 32 bit color setting for his monitor
resolution the highest that is available through the
remote desk connection is 16 bit.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
