[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 83177, member: 14215"] Its not always as easy as that, it didnt work out of the box for me. Anyway remember that this patch will actually introduce a piece of beta code into your windows installation :) I havent had many problems with it, but it did crash my windows once. Anyway, UltraVNC is just as easy, download, run, and maybe reboot, then your set your password and it just works. I still prefer to use VNC for anything that resembles remote control, ie where i want to control the same activity as on the physical screen, RDP causes too many problems. For example Powerstrip thinks you have installed a new graphics card and launches its setup, erasing your previous setup. I dont see the point in using RDP with a single user login on a HTPC, your are just setting yourself up for problems with video/sound related programs, which might have different setups for different displays/video cards etc, while VNC allows you to adjust settings for your actual hardware, not some virtual RDP hardware. With concurrent session with two different users you can stop for example Powerstrip from running for the remote user, negating these problems. I still dont see the contest between the two, as far as im concerned you definetly need both for full control of your HTPC.... [/QUOTE]
