I just picked up a Media Center remote (RC126) for WMC. aim - Audio & Wireless Solutions
Does anyone know how to collapse WMC with the remote. That is I want to minimize the WMC screen using the remote.
Note there is a quarter moon button but this seems to put the entire computer in stand-by mode.
I know there have been a number of posts on this subject but I have been unable to find a solution. I have 2 Windows 7 machines, both running SP1.
My HP Pavilion is running 64-bit and my Dell Latiude E6400 is running 32-bit. I can successfully RDP from my Dell and even my Apple iPad (via an RDP client) into my HP Pavilion. However, the problem is that when I try to RDP from my Pavilion into my Dell I get connected but all I see is a BLACK from the Dell machine. The only thing i can see is the Status bar at teh top telling me that i am connected. A few moments later I get a popup message telling me that the machines have failed to communicate.
I have confirmed that RDP settings are identical on the Pavilion and Dell. I have even downgraded the Dell NVIDIA graphics driver to an older version based on the recommended version on the Dell support web site.
I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, trying to use Windows remote desktop to connect to another PC in the LAN and install software. Right click on the .exe and choose run as admin. As soon as I do that I get a black screen with 2 white bars in the upper left hand corner(looks like a pause button). The user who's pc I am connected to sees the log inbox for the admin creds, how ever I can not get to it. How can I make that screen stop popping up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have several remote systems that can all connect fine. I am having an issue with one box. It is a windows 7 home premium machine with netgear wireless nic. When I open mstsc to connect to a remote machine I put in the ip address and click on connect.I receive an immediate failure with the text "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again...blah blah"I have a server 2008 r2 with Network level authentication enabled. I have 8 other systems that are hardwired, at different geographic locations and all connect fine. I have not made any changes on the server side since this problem seems to be local to this client only. On the client I have made the following changes/observations. I have disabled the firewall, cleared the remote desktop cache, remove the MRU entries from the registry, verified that port 3389 is open via telnet. I have been bashing my head for days trying to figure out why this one box is not working. The problem occurs for every user on the box including the admin.I don't receive the box that prompts for warning if there is a server authentication issue but I think that is because I selected ignore at some point and said yes to continue. I'm not sure where that cache resides to delete that selection.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 3 computers running 7600 ultimate, 2 are running x64 one is running x86. All 3 have remote streaming enabled, all 3 have the same windows live linked credential. Is there a port I need to open from the router side on my home network to allow remote streaming to function correctly? I consistently get the error ''Windows Media Player encountered a problem while downloading the playlist." when playing from a remote connection. All 3 computers are on the same homegroup also when they're at my place. Additionally all the computers dont show up for eachother in the ''other libraries'' section of WMP, they show up intermittently.

Remote desktop locally works Remote desktop via branche office works (through hardware based vpn tunnels) MS VPN connects, network is browsable MS VPN -> RDP shows: [Configuring remote session] But after a while connection is denied MS VPN -> Fileshares - functional MS VPN -> Webserver, FTP server - functional Maybe one of you guys have a hunch why this specific situation doesn't work?

I am looking to connect to my WHS 2011 from outside of the home, as I spend a lot of time at college etc.I've only ever really used RDC at home, So I am unsure as to how to do this from an external location,My setup at home is this:
Router --------------------------->Router 2----------------->server
(main in different room) (secondary acting as switch) (running WHS 2011)
So what I have done is set the router a static IP (192.168.0.6)And forwarded ports on the second router (3389)
And tried connecting from my laptop inside the local network, works fine, Outside at college, it still does not work
Do I need to forward ports on the Main router as well?
from a new Windows 7 user used to XP...
I use Remote Web workplace to connect to my work Windows 2003 Server. When I'm in Full screen mode of being connected to a work desktop, Alt-Tab cycles through my local apps instead of the apps on the remote desktop. I know that RDC has an option to change this in the Local Resources tab. I wasn't sure if RWW used the same settings or had similar settings of its own. I think that when using XP, Alt-Tab cycles through the remote's apps and so I didn't know if there was a way to make Windows 7 do the same.
can i connect to my server which more that 100 mts far away

Like to watch Netflix or Xfinity TV on the computer while he's in bed. He has a large monitor and then I could get him to get the pc off the kitchen table and upstairs. I tried using google but just got hits for remotely accessing from another computer. Didn't know exactly what to search for. His HP laptop came with a remote but we've never used it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had a question concerning the remote desktop assistance on windows 7. I noticed that it was enabled today and I was wondering if windows 7 enables it by default or if someone had to enable it. My friend told me that hackers can get on to your computer through this so I was concerned but wouldn't I have to allow them access to my computer? I was wondering also if downloading things off the internet could have enabled it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUsing Remote Desktop I can connect my one Win7 machine to my other Win7 machine.
However I don't see my "real" desktop - by that I mean the remote machine spawns a sort of virtual desktop and shows me that - I can't run the graphic card control panel for instance - and if a monitor is plugged into the remote machine you just see the login screen not what I'm doing.
So is it possible to see the 'real' desktop using Microsoft Remote Desktop? Or do I have to find some other remote control software - like VNC or something like that.
Here is what i would like to try and do. I have two computers, a Desktop and a Laptop. My Desktop sits at home, while my laptop goes with me to school or anywhere else that i need it.Now, i would like to see how i can set up my computers (or network?) so that i can access my Desktop files via my laptop online.I want to try and carry as few files on the laptop as possible, such as if ever lost or stolen, i wont have my data or files compromised/stolen.I also plan to install a SSD on the laptop, in order to try and make my battery last longer, but SSD's are still too expensive (i have a 250 HDD right now), I'm thinking of getting a 64GB SSD and trying to carry as few files as possible. Getting a 250 GB SSD is just way too expensive right now.I have heard that Windows has a thing called Remote Desktop Connection, but i have tried to use it, but i never got it to work somehow. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

I have recently reinstalled win 7 on my HTPC and got it set up very nicely. I bought a new remote for it and it worked great for a few weeks. Recently a few of the buttons have stopped working. Mainly the back button and the volume up/down buttons. The batteries are fresh and the LED on the remote tells me the button is working. The eHome transceiver is also lighting up so the signals are being emitted.
I tried the trial of Intelliremote which fixed the problem but it costs more than the remote! I figure it is a driver issue but the stock drivers are very sparse with no function to configure at all. I can only find some references to the beta versions of win 7. These issues where meant to be fixed in the RC so by SP1 you'd think it should work.
Has anybody noticed with Windows 7 Beta a reduction in working functionality of either or both of the above. My volume and back buttons on both have stopped working.
I thought it might be the hardware at first but I switched over to Vista MCE and they work fine.
I need the to remotely connect from Windows XP to windows 7(with the remote settings: Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure) ) enabled. And before it gives me any of my windows 7 Welcome Screen, should prompt the user on the XP machine that is trying to connect for the windows 7 credentials, just like when connecting from Windows 7 to Windows 7 with the Less secure mode in (Remote Desktop settings).

I don't really know what I am talking about so I am going to tell you my result, or the end goal, of what I want to have happen.So basically I want the "Machine" to: act as a firewall, mask my IP and Subnet Address, and encrypt what pages I visit and what I download. I don't have to be able to access it from a remote point but the option is always nice.I am not downloading or uploading anything illegal. I just want another project and I figured this would be good to do until I can go to school to become an IT Administrator.

I just set up a new computer and they both are on the same wireless network and are even connected to eachother through bluetooth. I'm trying to connect to my laptop from my desktop tower (the new one). The Remote desktop thing is asking for a log-in for the laptop. Well I do have a password, so I enter in my user name Shannon, and then my password....It doesn't work...try it again. and it doesn't work. Even though it accepts the username, the password isn't accepted, and I know 1000000% that it is right. So whats going on? The tower is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and the laptop is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.
