| | Vista Remote Desktop I am trying to use XP to remotely control a Vista Business computer on a local network and still allow the Vista machine's video to stay "live". I have no problem establishing the session, but when I do, the Vista machine's desktop "locks" instead of displaying the live desktop. The point is to remotely control a Vista computer connected to a projector and the video should show the action not simply go to a locked screen. I thought of using Netmeeting since you can install it on Vista, but they have disabled the "remote desktop" feature in Netmeeting when it runs on Vista. I don't want to use a third party solution or a "remote assistance" session, if possible. Any ideas? Dale |

| | Re: Vista Remote Desktop Try UltraVNC (based on TightVNC, I believe). It's free and available for download at http://www.uvnc.com. It supports "shared sessions", so you can remote control it and have its desktop remain "live", as you wish. In fact, you can even optionally simultaneously control the system locally and remotely. (Great for remotely helping "newbies".)

| | Re: Vista Remote Desktop It appears that without using a "third-party" solution (which I have not tried yet), I will have to use the "Remote Assistance" avenue to get it done. If they hadn't disabled the remote desktop function in Metmeeting when it runs on Vista, I would go that route. I may still try the "third party" ideas in the future, but sinced it's not a major issue at the moment, will wait for some free time.
