Hello everyone,
I have a problem. I want to access the desktop of my Desktop PC(Windows XP) from my Laptop(Windows Vista Premium) and vice versa. But I cannot access the desktop even though I can access the "Shared Folders". I am using a crossover cable.
Thanks in advance. 3  1854  Nepomuk 3,112

What exactly do you want to access? The data on your PCs Desktop? Or do you want to logon to your Laptop with the account of your desktop?
Greetings,
Nepomuk
The problem is simple. Your computer's remote Desktop Connection Settings is disabled. To enable this, Right click My Computer -> propertise -> remote, then check the tick box 'Allow user to connect ...' under the 'Remote Desktop' tag. then apply, OK. I thought u got the answer.
WinXP Pro's Remote desktop works just fine, as simply as VNC and is already installed.
Of course your friend's PC must be running WinXP Pro in order to act as the host.
If he is not running XP Pro then VNC is a viable alternative. TightVNC (freebie)
Otherwise, is your friend behind a router? If so, he needs to configure it to forward the port 3389 to the target (host) PC's IP.

Hi, there is an application running on a remote desktop (under Citrix ICA,
but the same problem applies for RDC or PC Anywhere). Now, I want to send
keys to the remote application from a local app. I tried sending keys in VB
with SendKeys, as well as using keybd_event API, but I'm not able to send
any keys. It works very well for any local applications, but I can't pass
the keys remotely. Is there any way to do it?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have developped a Windows applcation (in C#) that allows, among other
things, users to view and control the desktop of a remote Windows XP Pro
machine. I have actually simply embedded the Remote Desktop ActiveX control
in my C# app and this works fine.
However i have now a new requirement for my app: multiple users have to be
able to view and control the same remote desktop simultaneously using my
application. Big problem:...

To demonstrate my problem, I have a very simple VB Windows application. It
has a text box that is used to display a counter, a button to reset the
counter, and a timer that increments the counter every second.
I remote desktop to the computer hosting this application and run the
application. It starts up and displays the counter incrementing every
second. If I disconnect the network cable between the two computers for 10
seconds and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
