Windows 7 remote assistance displays garbled desktop

I'm trying to connect to the asus laptop of my mother to help her, but each time, remote assistance is used, the his office appears in monochrome color and is coded/biased. This is not a problem of the internet, because the connection is through our internet and home network is not used to establish the connection. Between the two laptops Remote Desktop works fine, not display problems what so ever. so I don't think that it is a configuration issue with the router or other system. Unfortunately we have only two systems win7 (my laptop and my mums), so test it with a third windows 7 PC is not possible. I'll try to connect using my XP Pro desktop computer, but I expect that it does not at all due to differences in OS version.  my moms laptop has some kind of custom AMD/ATI discrete video card that is not able to use AMD drivers, so im not able to upgrade to the latest version of the drivers on his cell phone. My laptop has, however, the last driver from NVidia (314.22) package because it is the video card.

Yet once again, this problem is NOT with Remote Desktop, which works very well between our two PC.

This is NOT a connection problem. I am able to connect to his PC, very well.

The question is when his office is shown through the Windows remote assistance program.

I have already run all the troubleshooters there, who have found NOTHING of EVIL.

the remote assistance connection is made using easy connect through our home network.

any suggestions on the internet do not work as the connection to the local network traffic never leaves

Apparently, Microsoft is aware of this error and has released a software fix. the link is below.

My only question is can I install this fix on my mums laptop, my laptop, or both?

Remote assistance does not display a desktop computer that has a resolution of 1366 x 768 correctly in Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2665720

I tried this fix and it works very well for my Windows 7 Home Edition basic with a resolution of 1366 x 768 as the server end (from where the remote assistance request is created). Now the display of remote assistance is more blurred.

    Solve the mystery of myself.  Found this little note that after much research online.

    "Important note: Remote Desktop is no longer included in the versions professional, enterprise or ultimate edition of Windows." Editions do not have Office remotely. »

    It seems that Microsoft "cat experts" would have mentioned this small detail when I worked with them or help line experts when I call them on the phone.  Instead, they tried to sell me a support service for $99, which I think now just tried to trick me into buying one edition more expensive Microsoft windows without really anything to solve the problem which would itself be fixed with an update they would have sold in addition to the support service for $99 that I really don't need to.

  • VMware Fusion supports by using windows remote assistance?

    VMware Fusion supports by using windows remote assistance? If so, some can give me how to proceed. I can't make it work in fusion. I have to stop and start Vista in bootcamp for windows remote assistance work. Thanks in advance for your answer.

    OK, so I installed Vista 64 bit Windows in a virtual machine.

    It loaded up, went ' start > Help and Support > Windows Remote Assistance'

    The guest came, I asked save the invitation to a file.

    Has taken this copied file there to my computer mac desktop, then on my XP VM.

    Double clicked on it from XP (and two virtual machines)

    It connected and starts fine, succeeded in part of the screen and the lot.

    The only things I've done in the machine was Vista disable UAC and the firewall.

    My bet is that it is the firewall.  Could be UAC, but I have just disabled to avoid boredom of ' are you sure you clicked right on what you clicked just?  REALLY REALLY sure? "

    (1) my friend request assistance through WLM (Windows Live Messenger).
    (2) I accept.
    (3) he is entered in the "password" as remote assistance usually asked.
    (4) he PM me the password on my msn.
    (5) the program without error Windows Remote Assistance will now pop up on my side and will ask you for the password.

    Here's the rub... I typed the correct password in the talk of what my friend, but still Windows Remote Assistance keeps rejecting the password as if the password is wrong.

    And NO, I couldn't, due to lack of hitting and no., case sensitivity is not the password, password is as easy as '12345 '.

    I'm always rejected by my other friends for bad password as well.

    So please, help me out here.
    Thank you.

  • Unable to connect to a Windows XP Pro SP3 machine using remote assistance

    Remote Assistance XP Pro sp3 and Windows 7Any

    I realize account of Windows 7 is still in RC, so if that's the answer, that's what it is. :-)

    Trying to help MOM with assistance remotely.  She is under XP Pro sp3, and I'm running a box fully patched Windows 7.  When she sends the invitation of the RA, the box 7 attempts to connect says it is connected and then is waiting for response from the user.  However, she never had a guest on his machine to accept the request.

    Now, I know what you think, so take that into consideration.  When it does work, I broke out my other laptop under XP Pro SP3 and was immediately able to get on her box without any problem, that is to say, just behaved as expected.

    Any suggestions for W7 to connect to a box of XP Pro sp3 with RA?  I can see it as an ISP thing - maybe - 7 using a protocol of its blocks to ISP (as cox communications blocks port 80 on residential users), perhaps a DCOM conflict or something like.  I really hope that this isn't just stupidity on my part, but it would not be the first time. ;-D

    Any input appreciated

  • Can I disable the Terminal Services if I don't use remote assistance/remote desktop?

    I use can I have Vista 32 bit home premium

    I thought that Vista have no remote desktop? Is not Terminal identical remote desktop services?

    When I go

    MyComputer > right click > properties > remote adjustment

    the box for "Allow remote Assisnatnce" is NOT COCHEE

    But when I run Netstat - ano, I see that port 3389 is listening svchost.exe process when I checal what services are related to this particular svchost.exe, I see the following services:

    Cryptographic services
    DNS client
    network location awareness
    KtmRm for distributed transaction coordination
    telephony

    and Terminal Server services

    Seems to be at a point several years ago, I allowed someone from microsoft to help me through the assistance at a distance could therefore have enabled or downloaded services Terminal Server?

    In any case, I think that Terminal Services is initially port 3389 to remain open and thus get an unsolicited connection attempts from different IP addresses.

    I tried a little experiment and finished the Terminal Services and changed the status of manual start-up. When I still ran netstat - ano, he showed no listening on port 3389

    However, when I rebooted my computer Terminal Server was running again. So I ended it again but this time off the service. When I fell net stat - ano he showed terminal services does not. then when I restarted my computer, Terminal Server services do not have turn on port 3389 has not been shown that listening

    SO my question is, as a user of Vista which doesn't use remote help desk or remotely.

    1. I CAN keep the disabled Services Terminal Server?

    2. it cause me any problem of operation or security if she stays in the disabled state?

    3 have disabled will cause me to not be able to get the scheduled updates?

    Thank you

    But I have been informed by Norton Personal asa require a Terminal Server Services be, nit for the part of remote assistance, but for other reasons. They say I can't turn off
