Remote Desktop for Windows 7 Professional hangs at welcome screen
The host machine is running Windows 7 Professional. This Windows 7 machine has 1 single user account which is an Admin that I use to log on (let's say it's 'Joe').
- Disable all the non Microsoft Win 7 PC via msconfig services.
- Rename the computer Win 7 PC name.
- Assign a static ip address to the Win 7 to use the ip address.
- Made sure that RDP was on the list of exceptions to firewall on PC Win 7.
- I am able to the RDP of the Win 7 PC to PC Vista Ultimate on my home network.
- On the network, I have a Windows XP computer that is also unable to RDP to Windows 7 PCs.
- I recently installed Windows 7 on this PC and RDP has not worked yet, so this isn't a problem 'suddenly '.
I found the problem with my inability to RDP to my Windows 7 computer.
On my desktop Windows 7 Pro, I use a card (Rosewill RNX-G300EX) wireless network. When I installed the drivers for this card, she also installed software GUI of own Rosewill (Ralink Wireless Utility) to connect to wireless networks. This setting overrides Windows 7 is built in the GUI to connect to wireless networks.
On a wild guess, I uninstalled the drivers and software for my wireless card and then reinstalled the drivers only and used Windows 7 built in networking and it works now.
I hope this helps.

Clients of remote desktop in Windows XP Professional
Hello - the situation I describe is very strange and somewhat reproducible in my environment. Really I am looking for the elements to look and see if anyone else has experienced this problem.
When you are in a session of the Bureau (specification of environment at the end of this post) and you start the desktop connection program remote (Version 6.1.7600 RDP 7.0) you connect to a server using RDP. In our environment, the servers are Server 2003 or 2008. If you do not have capital letters or special characters (! @# $% ^ & *) your password so this issue does not affect you. However if you do not have capital letters and/or symbols then this problem usually affects you. What happens is that you type your password as usual, but it will not let you on the server - it will show you your password or user name is incorrect. If you type really slowly, now the SHIFT key for longer than 1 second before hitting the combination key, then it will normally leave you.
It feels almost as if there is a delay of keyboard with the SHIFT key, but only in the RDP program window. If you type your password in Notepad then it turn out very well. Also, once you are on the remote server, there is no keyboard lag. In fact you don't see any shift of the keyboard when you type the password in the password box, but you cannot verify that the characters are accurate because of the mask of password.
I never noticed this problem before because my passwords were still tiny with numbers. A new user in our environment is one that for the first time the question because his password has the symbol @.
Any ideas?
Environment: View 4.01 with Windows XP Professional x 86 infrastructure related clones. Not persistent.
Thank you
Richard

Remote Desktop on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit does not connect to my computer Windows XP VPN
I recently updated from windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64 bit. According to the same installation instructions, that I used on XP to connect to my computer to work through VPN & remote desktop is no longer working. I can connect to the VPN connection without no problem, but when I use remote desktop to connect to the computer, it does not work. I get the message:
Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:
(1) remote access to the server is not enabled
(2) the remote computer is disabled
(3) the remote computer is not available on the network
Make sure that the remote computer is on and connected to the network, and remote access is enabled.
Items 1-3 are all very well, so it must be another problem. I also checked windows firewall remote desktop is allowed on the exceptions list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I fixed, which was ultimately quite simple. I changed the 3 settings, 1 - uncheck the TCP/IP v6 2 - in the options of the remote desktop, ADVANCED tab, I changed the server authentication for: connect and don't warn me. 3 - below, to connect from anywhere, settings... I chose: do not use a remote desktop gateway server. \
I checked the TCP/IP v6 and everything still works.
Hope that helps someone. -

I have a MacBook Pro (Intel Core i5 2.53 Ghz to) that I use to connect to a desktop computer Dell Windows XP Professional SP3 Windows Remote Desktop for Mac 2.01. Connecting to XP from my Mac desktop, everything seems to work properly. Looking more closely however, radio buttons do not appear on the applications that use them.

Hi Yes,
Remote Desktop, included with Windows XP Professional, allows you to connect to your computer over the Internet from any computer, Pocket PC or Smartphone. Once connected, Remote Desktop gives you the keyboard and mouse control of your computer while showing you everything that happens on the screen.

My laptop came with a Windows 7 Basic program trial and the trial ended so I bought a product key for Windows 7 Professional, because I got a discount on that student. When I try to activate it, it says I need to enter the product key for what I already use but I don't know the key to it. What am I doing here? Do I have to buy a product key for my Windows 7 original also?
Windows 7 Home Basic Edition is not a trial.
Is the Windows 7 Professional a full, level or Express upgrade?
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.
When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer
Click on properties
Scroll down to the Windows Activation
Click the link x days before activation.
Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.
Enter the product key
Click next
Select the Activation of the phone
Click Next when you enter your key page
Select your country
Click Next, call the number listed
Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.
Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent
They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it
Click next to complete the activation.
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Cutting tool for Windows XP Professional
Could someone tell me where I can download Snipping tool for Windows XP Professional? I appreciate your support of all.
Thank you
Shilambuselvan
You can find an application tool cutting on CodePlex. I can't vouch for the website or the software. If you do not download anything, scan it with your antivirus software before installing.
Windows XP Snipping Tool on CodePlex download page.
You can consider using a utility of "screenshot". I use FastStone Capture 5.3 (freeware) and it has many features that I prefer on painting and other programs of this nature. Newer versions are not free.
HTH!

I've updated three of my computers from Windows XP Professional for Window 7 Professional using kits of DVD I bought. I have three sets of Window 7 professional DVD in my possession. I bought a new license [facility provided by Microsoft key] for my ThinkPad. I ordered also accompanying the DVD, which I imagine will happen next week. Rather than wait for the DVD, can I use one of my existing 32 Bit Windows DVD for installation to upgrade with the new license key that I got from Microsoft?
No problem - but you might want to wait, if your existing DVD is the original version, because a new will have SP1 integrated, so it'll even some hassles :)
