| | using XP remote desktop to control a Vista Home machine? I'd like to ask some people about this before I invest / waste the time trying to do it myself, so here goes. Is it possible to use remote desktop to control a vista Home machine from an XP Professional machine? My laptop has XP pro on it, and my new home machine has Vista Home on it. Is this even possible? |
