Use remote to access corporate internal terminal server desktop.  Do I have any options?

  • In windows Vista (Home Premium) Remote Desktop connection does not work correctly

    I installed and re-installed my Vista (Home premium) 2 times already because of the remote desktop connection.  I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista.  The remote control works on the other hand the meaning of desktop running vista, laptop running windows 7 Professional.
    Looking at the Vista under \System\Remote setting\Remote tab which shows the remote assistance box, but the Office box where you can choose what type of connection can be established remotely is missing.

    I went though all as responses to forum, but nothing helped.  Even in a "sfc/scannow" command prompt running did not help.  It is said that he finds corrupted files, but it cannot solve all corrupted files.  That's why I reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem but WITHOUT SUCCESS.

    Can anyone help?  I've attached a screenshot of what I see in vista.

    You can connect FROM an original version of Windows to another computer, but you cannot connect to an original version of Windows.

    It is not an 'idea' it's hard cold fact that is at least 12 years old.

My question is XP Home Edition designers to see this after the fact and need somewhere in the downloads windows provided the software needed to integrate this feature because it can be very useful in helping in other remote sites.

    Unfortunately, remote desktop can be used to access a computer of the publishing house.  But, you can use remote desktop to access a computer running XP Professional.  There is no room for this download for the home edition.  The only way would be to upgrade to XP Professional ortrick your computer into thinking that it is professional , which may or may not work.  Do this at your own risk.  I suggests that you do not try.  Then, you can download Remote Desktop fromhere .
