  • I have problems connecting to the remote desktop on Windows Server 2008.

    I have many positions of work XP trying to connect to our servers to Server 2008 Remote Desktop, but get the message, "because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer".

    When I check the version of remote desktop it uses, it is 5.2.3790 in program Files\Remote Desktop

    Now, if I go to Windows\System32, I find mstsc.exe and can connect to the same server perfectly.  But if I go to save the connection, RD is up to version 5.2.

    How can I remove the old version and just use the newest one?

    Thank you.

  • Windows XP home version suddenly does not, even in safe mode.

    My computer at home is no longer operational. Windows XP Home version has suddenly refused to load. It seems to start normally, but never ends. I tried to boot in safe mode. Although safe mode starts to load, it does not end. If I try to start normally or in safe mode, there is no error message. A few years ago, I bought the computer with XP preinstalled. It's never happened before. I have all the updates, including service pack 3. However; I realize now that I did a backup disk. Any advice as to what are my options?

    Given that your machine does not start, you need to start a system on a CD.  Easier to create CD's free Linux Livecd such asKnoppix.   If you have a friend with an XP installation disc, you can try to build a diskBelia PE or Ultimate Boot CD for Windows . On the chances that your problems of a corrupted registry, you can boot from that disk and use it to perform the steps in

    "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

    With a Live Linux disk, you can pick up the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux to copy, paste and rename the appropriate files.  If all else fails, you can use the same Linux Live CD to backup your data on a USB drive or a network drive before reinstalling Windows.  Most OEM computers have a recovery partition which is activated by pressing a particular key at the right time to start.  This procedure will completely erase the drive and put it in the State that it was when it was first purchased.  Quickly look up when you boot.  It is not stay there long.  If this does not work, you will need to get a replacement from the manufacturer of your computer installation disc.

  • External machines to Vista cannot RDP to a Server2012R2 running Remote Desktop Services

    We have recently updated our server RDP to the server 2012R2 and installed the remote desktop Services. There is no problem to connect to it internally and externally the Windows 7 machines are able to connect once we install the updates of the following two:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2574819

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2592687

    The problem is with the external Vista machines. They can connect to the original web interface (remote.xxxxxx.ca) and they see the Remote Desktop tab RemoteApps server and workstations, but clicking on the link just puts them in a loop "enter your credentials. Nothing in Event Viewer that I choose to see what he's blocking me. None of group policy or NPS that I can see which could block access.

    As mentioned earlier, internally a Vista machine works very well, outwardly this same machine won't be able to connect. No problem at all with Windows 7 or 8/8.1

How can this be corrected?

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

    Remote Desktop does not work

    Hello

    I have a desktop PC with windows XP (Professional) on this subject, but I can't access to the pc through the remote desktop tool. I already checked several options, but nothing seems to work. I don't even get an error message, the window just those which blinks and nothing happens...

    Could you please help?

    This is wat I already checked:

    -"allow users to connect remotely...". ' is running

    -TCP/IP listening on port 3389

    -Terminal services are started

    -J' tried connecting to Windows 7 and Windows XP, nothing works

    -Ping the ip address of the client PC works fine

    If you have any other ideas, I would be very gratefull!

    Thanks to advandce

    You will probably need to open port 3389 on your router so that it maps on the computer that is tuned to the connections of the DRC. It seems that you did all the other steps, but your router can prevent the connection to go anywhere. Here's a detailed guide to configure your router for DRC that can provide some guidance.

  • 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.

  • Windows 7 Clipboard stops working when it is connected to the remote desktop

    The two machines are Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.  Remote configuration is configured with the selected share clipboard.  The Clipboard works on the host machine until the remote desktop is started.  The Clipboard of the remote computer works without any problem.  Clipboard on the host machine starts working again when rdpclip.exe is interrupted on the remote computer.  If rdpclip.exe is restarted on the remote computer, the Clipboard of the host machine then stops working again.

    I had similar problems with Clipboard in the past, but getting the two machines on a fixed day.  It seems more recent updates have created a new problem.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The question could arise if the process is damaged and should be revoked on the remote computer to restore operation. I suggest you to try the following steps on the remote computer and check if the problem persists.

    1. Open Task Manager (right click taskbar and select Task Manager)
    2. Go to the process tab
    3. Select rdpclip.exe
    4. Click on end process
    5. Go to the Application tab
    6. Click on the new process
    7. Rdpclip type
    8. Click OK

  • 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.

  • Update of OS from Vista to Windows 7 Home version

    I have a HP desktop computer using the Vista operating system.  HP does not provide the appropriate drivers for this model of PC to accept 10 Windows.  The PC will accept Windows 7.  Where can I get a copy of Windows 7 Home version?  I prefer not to buy a new PC.   This PC works fine for me with the exception of the intermittents 'freeze' which requires a double close and restart to continue my work.  I guess that the problem has much to do with the obsolete OS.

    How can I be sure that I will receive a product Code for MS if I buy Windows 7 from a site like Amazon?  Is this a good idea or is there a possibility of loading inadvertently a virus on the PC.

    The PC is currently using the 32-bit operating system.  Is it possible to use the operating system 64-bit instead?  If so, what are the benefits of the 64-bit operating system?  I do not use the PC for gaming.
