Remote Control For Desktop Pc?
Nov 22, 2011
My husband has a Win 7 pc custom built by Fry's. Is there such a thing as a remote control (I guess it would need a usb dongle) to control it? 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.

I am trying to have my computer the most secure as possible. I have a firewall, antivirus, anti-malware, etc. But I was wondering is it possible to have on your computer even with an anti-virus, a malicious program that allow Remote Desktop Control access (something like ProRat trojan or teamviewer)? Because I am suspecting that someone I know could had install/changed something on my computer. I know those suspicion might not be founded but in anyway I would like to understand how it work.
1. Is there any malicious application that allow Remote Desktop access that cannot be found by anti-virus? (I know it could be put in the list of exception on the anti-virus).
2. What can I do to be 100% sure that absolutely no one could access my computer (or just see my screen from their computer).

I have a Windows 7 network set up and whenever I connect remotely to another computer and lock their input such as their keyboard and mouse, the remote user still has the ability to press ctrl alt del, which then allows them to use their keyboard and mouse. My question is, is it possible to disable the ctrl alt del functionality in Windows 7 so that that Blue security screen does not appear? I have tried lots of remote desktop controlling software which has the option to lock the remote computer input, but they still can press ctrl alt del and unlock their keyboard and mouse. How do I stop this?

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?

We 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.

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'm trying to use the X360 Media Remote Control (this) with my PC (e.g., with Media Center) via the Receiver (this).
Maybe I need to link the remote controller with the receiver somehow?

I have a Vista generation WMC remote I use with my new Xbox extender and all the functions work properly except for the TV on/off & volume. I know have to use the TV remote to do these functions, the WMC control for WMC functions, and the Xbox console for Xbox on/off. Is there a way I can get this down to just one or two? From what I read, it looks like the Xbox 360 universal remote does these functions so I'm wondering why this one wouldn't...I don't need to control the Xbox functions other than turning it on.

I've seen this somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it again. There is a way of setting only certain remotes to work with certain PCs so they don't interfere with others. I have my HTPC and laptop in the same room, both with IR receivers - whenever I use the remote for my PC, the laptop ends up with all the signals too, and I come back to find it's playing a video or something.
Does anyone here know where that tutorial/registry setting is to change remote control channels?

where to find a reasonably priced IR remote that can be programmed to transmit any manner of standard Windows keyboard keystroke-combinations, I mean such standard combinations as as Ctrl-W to close a tab or window (as opposed to the global Alt-F4 command that closes the entire program), or Ctrl-+/- to increase/decrease the displayed font size in a window, or Alt-Tab to simply switch open windows?I have three identically programmed venerable Sony RM VM-700 IR learning remotes that am fairly in love with, situated in various corners of my abode for convenience, and want to program the above signals onto their buttons to be picked up by a standard USB IR receiver. Have found some cheap-enough remotes on Amazon that provide basic functionality such as mouse navigation and closing/opening windows (e.g., "PC Remote Controller", "Vista Remote Control"), but none have provided the needed versatility documented above. (They typically offer four colored "hot buttons" that allow for programmable launching of programs via a shortcut-"shortcut", but not programmable keystroke combinations.)
Am running a non-WMP-oriented Windows 7 HTPC on a large monitor, and routinely do things like browse google-news from a distance using the handheld Sony universal remotes to open/close/switch windows in a mobile manner from various locations without being chained to a keyboard & mouse. My need is to increase the Sony remotes' functionality to transmit whatever manner of keyboard-shortcut keystroke-combinations that may be desired. recommend a lower-end IR remote that provides such programmable functionality? The intent is to get said keysoke-combos programmed into that, then relay them onto the Sony learning remotes for daily use. Is a $100+ Logitech Harmony unit my only option? If so, which of their several models provides such Windows-keyboard programmability?

Searched the internet, forums and tried everything even removing IDT.And getting a major head ache out of this. x64 notebooks.But on 1 single notebook the RDP does not work when connecting through a VPN.(Sony Vaio S-series factory customized i7, 8GB)The office has a Draytek VPN with an 2003 AD domain.Other notebooks do not have the problem. 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 trying to connect to another Windows 7 machine on the same router, but it will not connect. I have remote desktop enabled and checked under the computer settings, but when I right click the computer in the network & sharing center and try to connect, it won't work. I also tried manually entering the computer's network address but it failed. Both machines are Windows 7.

Using 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 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.

I have a desktop in a remote location used to connect to a PC in main location to run a program. The new computer put in the satellite office running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit did not have parallel ports and I needed two ... So I installed two PCI-E cards to add the ports. These print fine locally but the printers do not pass through to the Windows XP Pro machine.How can I make the PCI-E LPT ports available in the remote session?

Have setup RD for Win 7 64 Ultimate (both boxes) on internal LAN. Connects no problem and the LAN operates at almost full Gbps when moving files between the two. I've disabled the A/V and firewall (Kaspersky A/V 2012 on client, MSE on host) but no changes.Even with all the RDP options stripped down it is slow. Should it not be at virtual speed even with all the bells & whistles across the LAN?
