Hello
I am able to connect to my PC via the htc remote desktop application.
How do I stop it logging out the current user? This happens even when logging on with the same account.
I am trying to use my phone as a PC mouse to open file videos etc, so need to see the desktop at the same time on my phone.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this. I have tried logmein but this website does not allow me to select anything using the touch screen, although I can view the desktop fine.
Thanks
It's not possible to see on both with remote desktop.
You should look into VNC. Or if you don't need to have the screen on the phone but just mouse/keyboard controls there's G-Remote.
You could also try logmein.com - it is great!

I use Mocha VNC.
You can try the following website, this shows how to allow concurrent remote desktop sessions, it is geared towards windows 7 but its a start...

Also, that method doesn't let you see the same desktop on the phone as on the pc, , , both are logged on, yes, and (example) files saved to the desktop will both be seen, however one wouldn't see the same windows media player as the other, and indeed you would have trouble with both logins running (some of) the same program together.
I know this because i have both vista and win7 installs that have had concurrent logins enabled, which I didfor exactly the same reason as OP, heh, it didn't work. Hah.
Something like the "Logitech Touch Mouse" app for the iTouch/Phone would be cool on a Windows Mobile platform.
More info about it http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/control-your-pc-with-the-logitech-touch-mouse-iphone-app-2010021/
When I'm in bed, I'd like to be able to control my PC with my phone as if it were a TV remote controller or in other words a wireless mouse+keyboard.

It's exactly it, plus a lot more like g-sensor support, direct media player control, etc. Search for it on here.
Hi all, first-time poster here, although long-time admirer of the excellent work that goes on here.
This thread has compelled me to post as a winmo version of this "Logitech Touch Mouse" app would be a really handy to control my media pc at home, as well as the Skype conferencing machine at work in place of the bulky and ugly wireless keyboard we currently use.

This work fine if you do it to a terminal server, but not a client :-( this is the same what happens when you run rdp from a pc..it takes over the client..(like in xp, vista, win7) but again, i have a terminal server (win 2003) at home and running rdp from mt hd2 witout taking over the screen...

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to 'link' the XDA Exec with multiple Laptops so that the laptops all show the XDA's display? Lets assume all Laptops have wi-fi, bluetooth and run Windows XP.
Purposes may be to share a PP presentation, show a software demo etc. (I need to give a tutorial and demo in a room with no projector ).
I was curious if anyone has had any experiance with this? Any advice regarding the best setup (or software) would be great. Cheers.
Nobody any ideas whatsoever?
You could install windows media encoder on one of the laptops, and a remote control app. Then run the remote control app so you can see your phone's screen. Once that's working you can run windows media encoder in screen caputre mode, all the other laptops will be able to connect it it then.

You can play with Microsoft's "ActiveSync Remote Display". The tool allows you to work with your PPC remotely from your laptop/PC using ActiveSync connection. But you will need to install ActiveSync and this tool to every laptop
If it is a matter of presentation, why don't you copy your presentation to local server's shared folder and ask people to open the file from this folder and listen to your instructions, like Going to next slide... At least there won't be any hassle with intervention to participants' laptops and personal space ))
ps: if you do possess a PC you can run something like MS Netmeeting and establish AS connection with your PDA through AS Remote Display at your PC. Share AS Remote Display application and ask people to connect to your PC's NetMeeting or any other remote conference software
Let us know on your results
Cheers

Thats my last resort - I hate doing presentations like this especially when we have the technology to do something 'fancy' :lol:
I will give some feedback to let you know how I managed it (I will succeed)!

I just had a look at AS Remote Display and it seemed this would do the trick - However, it does not work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Does anyone know of a release of AS Remote Display for Windows Mobile 5? I had a look around but there does not seem to be much on offer which is compliant with 5.0.
Right, another problem.
I just installed an app called : Laplink Controller thinking as it offered the functionality I was looking for.
After a supposidly successful install I tried to run it - no joy. It reccommended I uninstall and re-install the software, so I did.
When re-installing I got a message saying:
Cannot load resouce library:
\Windows\MWRes???412L.dll
It now comes up everytime I do a soft reset. Anybody seen this error?
I saw that it was posted once before with no real answers. My question: Can the program Touchpad Pro be ported to Windows Mobile or can a program be made that has the same functionality. I am willing to pitch some funds to whoever will do it.
These are the links to the demo of Touchpad Pro and their website.

The Touchpad Media Server works similar but doesn't give full control.

No - if you log in to remote desktop on thew phone, you will be logged out on the PC. With this you can work simultaneously on the PC and the phone.
But this program is nothing new - just a VNC client. There are already a few of them available for WM (including some free ones). Just do a google search for windows mobile VNC client.

Okay... Obviously I didn't read that site in enough detail...
With RDP (Standard windows remote desktop) on WinXP, it is actually possible to have more than one person logged in at a time.

Thanks man. I guess I just didn't know what to search for. I'll check them out and see if they do the same thing.
You can also use logmein Basic which is free up to a certain amount of computers. I believe 5 pcs. https://secure.logmein.com/createaccount.asp
LogMeIn is one of the many choiced that one has when deciding on remote access software. LogMeIn Basic is freeware, and allows you to install the client onto a single machine that can be access via the LogMeIn website through a browser. With a small memory footprint, the program does not interfere if you leave it up while you decide to load up a game.
Features
Although the full paid version of LogMeIn automatically allows you to transfer files by dragging, stream audio, network printers, etc, the free version has none of these features. Although there is a free 30 day trial, these features are nice but not necessary for basic remote access needs.
Speed
Bandwidth is a large factor in the speed and refresh of LogMeIn, and although I run fiber optics at home, there is still a small amount of lag between connected clients and the server. Loss of some keystrokes can be a pain if you are a fast typer, but this is no different then Windows Remote Desktop.
But the thing that I really need is for the computer to not be logged out while I am on it. I want the phone to be a touch pad/mouse/remote control for the computer. So any program that logs you out of the PC while you are remotely using it is useless to me and does not do what Touchpad Pro does. Hence why VNC is good.

Logmein does not log you out. You will see it on the screen and it also goes through firewalls.
Gotcha, thanks.
Hi People
I'm searching for a great remote desktop mobile for my new HD2 and have problems to find something good.
I'd love to install LogMeIn, but i suppose is impossible at this moment,
This Night i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&NR=1&feature=fvwp
I suppose is from RDM plus, i install a demo version 3.7.6 and it is very different compared to the Remote desktop mobile from youtube Video.
Where can i find the remote desktop mobile from youtube video?
Need your help, please
Thanks
That's the remote desktop client that comes with Windows mobile 6.5. It's in your start menu, in the tools folder
boss the remote desk top shown in you tube vedio is same as in hd2 .........
its not different ........
Logmein - Ignition works just fine.
or as the others just said - just use the one that came with your HD2.
just wondering whether anyone could help us to set it up step by step...
also just wondering do you have to have a router or it can also work on wireless USB broadband (thats what i have)
I used the theme in our forum for this, but I didnt succeeded with it, because Im using PPPoE internet and when I set everything, their appears conflict and the internet drops...
I found the app already, but what I'm looking for is how I can setup the use of a remote desktop gatewayserver?
The server I address is an IP-address, but in the Windows 7 setting, I need to specify this gatewayserver.
I'm no admin, so I can't install something @ server side.
Thanks for your help!

PS I was even trying to run only Remote App, instead of Remote Desktop...

First off - well done on getting it working
Secondly, install BsB Tweaks (if you haven't already) as that will let you fix both zooming and auto-rotating in it.
In BsB you can say you want to add an app for either zooming or rotating (you do them seperately, but it's the same process). You'll have to shake the device to let BsB know which app to make changes for. Just make sure you do it on a connected session (in remote desktop), NOT the login screen. They're 2 different things.

where do you get realvnc from
where can i download realnvc?
is it a freeware??
I too have been trying to figure this out. What I found out is that for remote desktop, you need to have windows vista/7 Professional. Windows Vista Home will not allow you to have your computer controlled from your phone.
Yes its freeware
This is the link to the viewer and server for your PC
http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi
Now I must say im using XP, I HAVE VNC'd into vista and win7 PCs using the view on my tp2. However on one machine running Win7 I couldnt get the PC to recognize the server app. As of right now I simply use the wifirouter on my tp2, connect to its network and use the assigned IP to log in. RealVNC also allows WAP logins but I havent messed with it simply because I dont really need to lol.
In any case, here's the .cab for our phone attached.

I believe the reason for this is that the "Home" editions of Vista and 7 don't let you join a domian (that's one of the things M$ wants you to upgrade for), which as I understand it is necessary for a remote desktop connection.

You kidding me? VNC is a mess compared to Remote Desktop.
With RD, you get the closest thing possible to having a full fledged desktop computer on your phone. And it is pretty damn close.
Honestly when I'm at home and my phone is connected to the wifi network, more often than not I prefer to use it as a mere dummy terminal interface to my main computer.
Remote Desktop + any desktop web browser absolutely destroys every mobile browser ever created. Entire web pages load instantly and somehow look exactly like they would on a regular computer! Hell, you even get Flash support (a bit choppy but it's something).
And the Rhodiums screen resolution gives more than enough room for most web pages to render without the need to zoom out.
Remote Desktop even allows you to easily transfer files wirelessly between your phone and computer by mapping a drive on it that links to your phones file system.
The only thing I'd say against it is that it can be difficult to click on small targets even with the stylus.
I do sympathize with users who run a Windows version without the Remote Desktop Service built in. RDP is probably one of the very few good reasons to get Pro or above versions of Windows.

Windows Vista Home edition does not include Windows Remote Desktop therefore quite obviously you cannot connect to your laptop via your phone, gotta get professional or ultimate for that.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...ther-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection
Read "notes"
but, of course there are hacks to make it work fine lol it is included in service pack 1 but is not "labeled" try this
Steps to Add Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium:
1. Download termsrv.zip here
2. Extract Termsrv.zip to a temp directory
3. Start “Command Prompt” in Administrator mode (right click Run As Administrator) it in in Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, just right click on it
4. Run the corresponding batch file for your Vista edition (if you extracted it to your desktop then it will be C:\Users\[enter user name]\Desktop\Premium
5. Allow TCP Port 3389 on Windows Firewall or any other firewall product if needed
6. Done
(just tested on Windows Vista Home Premium and it worked fine)
(dont forget to reboot)

I guess a good place to start would be to try pinging the computer you want to connect to. You can do that with dotFreds Task Manager. You are trying to connect on a LAN correct?

I messed around with this earlier and couldnt get it to work. My pc is running windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition. I'm almost positive I had all the settings correct but I was trying to connect to my pc which was connected wirelessly to the router. Would this not work? If not how would one go abouts doing this without a lan connection? I'd love to get this baby working and am willing to be a guinea pig so that hopefully we can get a procedure together for all others
after trying remote desktop mobile to make it work i just give up!!!
try this go to www.logmein.com make a free account download logmein software to you laptop install the free softwares !
install cab to tp2
use the two files below.
1. Install XDA first, reboot,
2. install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE,
3.start up IE and sign into logmein.
This worked for me. the only thing is not working is the keyboard
keyboard problems go here !! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444641 it might work !

I routinely use the RDP client on my phone to connect to my desktop computer over wifi LAN. Although my computer is hardwired to the network.
Are you able to remote desktop to your pc with another computer?
Did you select the "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" option in the System Properties:Remote dialog?
Could there be some 3rd party firewall software you are running that might be blocking the RDP port?
Also, I've found that when having network issues especially involving wifi, often reseting your router to its default settings, and if necessary upgrading the firmware can help.
Hi all,
I presently am using Shape Services RDM+ to do my remote tasks and although a little cumbersome on the HD2 it does work great, however its the cumbersome bit that is making me wonder what else is out there that 1; WORKS! and 2; Is free or at least a reasonable price (RDM+ is reasonable).
Ones I have tried and they failed miserably are MS's own remote desktop and Symantecs pcAnywhere. The MS creation as usual was nothing but error message after error message and pcAnywhere would connect then disconnect every time so they are both ditched.
RDM+ connects reliably and stays connected and does what I want but it was made for use with a stylus and that's annoying on the HD2. Maybe an update one day will fix this annoyance with it because it really is very good otherwise.
So what else could do the job reliably that also has a finger touch interface designed for our great HD2's?
Thanks for suggestions.
try logmein ignition ...its a great app
I use tightvnc on the PC,then connect to it using androidvnc on the phone.you will get better results using vnc solutions than remote desktop solutions(although they are pretty much the same thing) with the added benefit that windows wont log you off when you connect from the phone using vnc,meaning you can use the phone as a remote and see the results on the PC monitor.with remote desktop you can't be logged in at the PC and at the phone.even with the concurrent logins hack which would allow this,you wouldn't see the same things on each screen.
Summary get tightvnc for PC and androidvnc from market.
there's also zaDekstop, which seem bit old but is: 1. free 2. more convenient than WM's Remote Desktop,
