Remote Desktop screen resolution issues

Hi all. I'm having some grief when you use remote desktop. To try to explain my problem, I must first explain how I do things :).

I use a laptop, HP Elitebook 8530w, with Windows 7 with SP1, Enterprise x 64.

At work, I have a docking and two monitors connected running the recommended 1600 x 1200 resolution

When I leave the office, I put the computer in mode 'sleep' and then wake it up when I get home if I need to work more. Then I put it in mode "sleep" again until the next morning when I wake up in the Office to the mooring.

The resolution on the laptop screen is 1680 x 1050.

So my question is. When I do a desktop remotely to a server I like to jump up to full screen, so if I had a full screen on a server session when working from home on the resolution to 1680 x 1050 (in mstsc display settings is set to mode full screen), and then log on to the server (or any other server) when I go to work I can't get the rdp session to display in full screen. Check the settings in mstsc, it is always set to full screen, but after checking the setting it works... so somewhere something is cached...

Hope I could explain myself good enough.

    True color is actually 24-bit.  32-bit is True Color + Alpha channel.

  • screen resolution of the remote desktop: fonts and icons of the remote desktop window are so small they can barely read.

    Remote Desktop screen resolution

    I've recently upgraded to a Windows 7 laptop from a computer in Office XP.

    On my old machine, I use a VPN clent and Remote Desktop connection to use my work computer (my company uses XP on their machines).  If I try to connect from my computer Windows 7, fonts and icons of the remote desktop window are so small they can barely read.  Change display options in the settings of remote desktop doesn't affect the size of the window, not the resolution.

    It is a problem because I am stuck using my old system to work remotely.

    Any ideas?

    All you have to do is to reduce the resolution of the screen that you use to connect to your Remote Desktop Session.  More the higher resolution and the characters will be on your screen, and when you connect to Remote Desktop.  In my case, I lowered the resolution of my screen to the House for the resolution of the screen in my office.  It works perfectly.  To reduce the resolution follow these steps:

    1. click on start

    2. click on Control Panel

    3. under appearance & personalization - click on adjust screen resolution.  You may get a message indicating that your resolution is not at the optimum, but don't worry you will still be able to see the letters on your screen.

  • Apple Remote Desktop (3.8.5) on several network interfaces

    Location:

    Running Office at distance between an iMac and a Mac mini, both running up-to-date El Capitan.  ARD version 3.8.5

    Both computers are on two networks, the WiFi network including the internet connection and is therefore "primary" and a wired machine-to-machine ethernet connection.  WiFi and ethernet are on separate subnets.

    In Didier, ARD 3.8.4, the Remote Desktop on the Mini app would announce (on Hello) as 'Active' wireless and wired interfaces, and from the iMac, I could choose who I want to use.  Usually the cables, connection gigabit ethernet to reduce network activity on WiFi.

    After these two machines 10.11.2 and ARD 3.8.5, update the Mini looks like 'Active' on the WiFi connection and 'offline' on the connection wired and is the remote desktop will not connect via the wire link. (no change with 10.11.3)

    I tried all combinations of options, I could think of to try to force the 3.8.5 on the Mini ARD announced as 'Active' on the wired connection.  Until beginning with no network connection, at all, on each machine, with all remote management and sharing turned off, re-boot both systems and leaving the disabled WiFi connection.  All to nothing does not.

    Paradoxically, file sharing works great!  It's just the Remote Desktop/screen sharing (Yes, I tried also, all possible combinations) will not announce or connect to the wired connection.

    When the two networks are active, sharing on the Mini preferences show the IP address for the primary network (WiFi) as well as the name (Nimitz.local) of the computer.  However, if the WiFi connection is not active there is no IP address displayed and the ".local" does not appear in the name of the computer.  It appears as just "Nimitz" not "Nimitz.local".

    I went through all the / library, folder ~ / Library, looking for whatever it is possibly connected to this issue.  I opened the files, checked the files, replaced the files and deleted the files without result.

    So my question is: how to do Remote Desktop or screen sharing to connect to the wired interface?  I'd rather not try and go back to Yosemite and ARD 3.8.4 if possible.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Kyle

    App for screen sharing, it must use the wired connection if you Set 1) Ethernet on your system of Viewer to be the first interface in system preferences-> network-> gear-> Service order icon set... and 2) to connect to the target by its IP Ethernet address. Remote Desktop is the MAC address of each computer and combines the addresses into a single entity. Most likely, the second computer that shows 'offline' is a file incomplete or dead. I would like to delete it. ARD promotes the address who has worked both previous. In theory, you can turn off WiFi and connect once via Ethernet and it will remain.

  • GAME SCREEN RESOLUTION

    I'M TRYING TO PLAY CATCH-UP COMBINATION A BINGO GAME ON GAMESVILLE.  MY SCREEN DOES NOT DISPLAY THE GAME IT IS CUTTING A PART OF THIS GAME ON THE SIDE RIGHT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS... I TRIED TO FIX IT BY GOING INTO MY CONTROL PANEL, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CHANCE... Can you help me?

    The text is easier to read when you are not using caps lock, shift, just to let you know. It reads as so scream.
    In addition, as another note (not to the po), people should not be able to post without specifying what OS they are on because all Windows games forums are merged.

    Increase the resolution for XP : right click on desktop-> properties-> click the tab more right at him-> superior, move the resolution slider to the right, and click on apply (repeat until the image on the screen doesn't sound bad)

    Increase the resolution to 7 : right click on desktop-> screen resolution-> click the resolution drop-down box-> move the cursor up

    If this does not work then maybe you can try to make the smaller game by zooming in on your web browser

    Zoom for Internet Explorer:   Page-> Zoom-> Zoom

    Zoom for Firefox: -> rear view-> Zoom Zoom

    Good luck.

  • Take screenshots when you use Remote Desktop Store app

    How this is done?

    This is because the Remote Desktop app captures the key windows as a Windows key on the remote computer. Therefore impossible to use the Windows key the Surface to take screenshots at the Remote Desktop application.

    As a work-around, what I do is put another app on the side of my application of RD and then clicking on in the application, so this is the active application. Now, when you press the Windows key and the low volume button, it will take a screenshot of the entire screen which will include both the remote screen. Then you can crop the App on the side if you wish.

    It is a workaround, but at least it allows you to take a screenshot. Just be sure to resize your remote desktop screen when multitasking and no multitasking so that you get the maximum image.

    Another option is to shoot to the top of the keyboard to the screen (in all Apps > accessibility of Windows), you can then move the keyboard of the road so that it takes as little as possible of the screen and still allow you to push the print screen on it button. Once it is low, you can paste the image that has been save to your Clipboard as you would when you take a screenshot in Windows.

  • Is it possible to change the font size or screen resolution when you use Remote Desktop

    We use mstsc to connect to our Windows 2008 R2 server. Not everyone uses the same font size and screen resolution. No way to change this on an individual basis? We all get the message that "display settings is not editable in a remote session.

  • Distorted screen of Windows 7 remote desktop printing

    In our work environment, we are running Win7 Pro on workstations with monitors 24 ", and we are mode connection full screen on Windows 2003 Terminal Server that has a monitor standard aspect ratio of 4:1.  We use specific software in the industry for our company, and when we print, the text is elongated.  If the screen resolution for the Terminal Server Session on the client is configured for 1024 x 768 instead of 1900 x 1200, it prints very well as shown here:

    Unfortunately, the way things are presented to the user on the screen at 1024 x 768 is not satisfactory.

    We have a few (all 1900 x 1200 widescreen) customers who use software in the industry outside the Terminal Server environment, and they print without problem.  This leads me to believe that there is a specific problem in Win7 remote desktop client, or the Terminal Server itself.  Whatever it is, the display resolution selected for the Terminal Session is clearly the culprit.  In software, the print is first presented in a preview before printing, and the lengthening of the police is visible in the preview screen. I think that the software is written in C++, but I'm not 100% sure on that.  I'm guessing this has something to do with the print job will be returned on a big screen, but I'm not advanced enough to find out how or why that matters in the grand scheme of things.

    I have installed the patch in KB2768741 to Win7 clients, but he did nothing to help the issue.

    Ideas?

  • Screen wide remote desktop

    I have an Asus laptop with a widescreen running Windows 7 and I often connect in my desktop computer with a standard view that is also running Windows 7.  Everything works well EXCEPT that... the differences of means of screen sizes that I have to scroll up or down or sideways in order to be able to read all of the remote desktop view.  I tried to change the resolution on my laptop but it does not help.  My laptop resolution is 1366 x 768, and I think that the normal resolution on my desktop is 1280 x 768.  RDP works well between the two computers, but having to Ahmed constantly down the desktop to see the set of program and then having to scroll to the top and right scrolling of the screen to see the different menus or 'X' as a result of a program gets really annoying.  Any suggestions?   Thanks for your help.

    RDP should not be dependent on the resolution of the remote desktop, it is it's own display on the remote computer, so by default will be rendered by the remote computer in the resolution of your local computer. This is because you do not normally take on real remote desktop but create a separate. If you right click on the shortcut to connect remotely and go to properties > view tab, you can select a lower resolution on the resolution of your local office to distance a window.

    The symptom you describe is more a desktop installation shadow such as indicated by VNC or Log Me In.

  • login screen Remote desktop showing on mac client connection

    Hello

    is there a way to prevent the display of the login screen, when connecting to a Remote Desktop client workstation? The connection is already arranged with a login, so now I need to identify 'twice'. First time with AutoConnect when you click on a workstation in Remote desktop and second manually when the other customer's screen opens. This was not in Yosemite, but appeared first in El Capitan and it's kind of annoying.

    I use the old worgroupmanager to control the use of USB devices. It interacts with the login screen, too?

    Is there a way I can avoid this login screen?

    I have a machine that is the Mountain Lion, without Workgroupmanger, and this is the normal behavior without any login screen.

    In fact, it was the Workgroup Manager. You need to disable the connection to local users only, which is enabled by default.

  • Screen 5600ea - completely black HP Omni 10 after crash while on the remote desktop connection

    I hope someone can help me with this.

    I had updated my Omni 10 to Windows Pro 8.1 so that I can Office remotely on my tablet on my work lan to get the benefits of the 2013 Office (we have not this version to work) on my work PC.

    Anyway, while it is connected to my 10 Omni via desktop remotely my Omni 10 crashed after connecting a USB drive that is powered via a USB OTG adapter. I used the front adapter without any problem with the USB card readers bus-powered and also the Lan USB card so I know it works, and the outlet powered USB hard drive works on my PC without any problem.

    The Omni disconnected from the remote desktop, and I guess it crashed, but the screen is black even when I hold down the power button and wait for the vibration (which usually means that it is set to zero).

    There is nothing displayed on screen, my work PC is unable to connect via Remote Desktop, and any number of power cycles seems to relive.

    I tried with the attached Omni 10 charger and without.

    There is no HP logo involve restarting at any point, but the Windows key infiltrates a vibration when I push on it.

    While enjoying the fact that the Omni 10 comes with the base Windows 8.1 and not Pro so I changed the configuration it worked fine for a few weeks since the installation.

    Pointers on getting this thing to life would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    I returned to the store that I bought, and they sent to HP for warranty repair.

    28 days ago so I went back to the store and they gave me a brand new boxed 10 Omni processor.

    When I got home I installed the driver and Windows updates. I noticed that the WiFi reception was really bad, even right next to my router, and the cameras had lines on the screen and the pictures that I took.

    The next day I went back to the store and they said all that and they initially said that I have to wait another 28 days, while it went for repair. When I said that this was not acceptable, they gave me a full refund of the amount that I had paid and used that to purchase a Pro of Microsoft Surface.

    The Microsoft Surface Pro is fast, well doneand more importantly everything works.

     

    TAKE NOTE, HP - IT IS HOW A WINDOWS TABLET SHOULD BE.

     

    I'm done with lag, unstable and downright unreliable HP products.

  • Remote Desktop issues connecting from home to work the computer in Windows XP. Remote Desktop stops responding and eventually disconnects.

    Just around the beginning of July (2011) I started to have remote Office questions when connecting from home to work. If I minimize the connection for a while and come back later, it will be often does not. I'll have to hit the close X button several times before, he ends by abruptly disconnects. By the sudden I want to say that I don't get no dialogue usual warning that the session will be disconnected.

    Also, sometimes when I connect I get a white screen instead of a connection window.

    Anyone know if there was a Windows Update, or anything that can cause problems with RDP.

    I used to be able to connect perfectly without any problems.
