Hi, 1. In the computer you want to connect to, go to my computer, properties. Enable remote desktop via the remote tab. 2. Install WindowEyes on this computer. 3. In Advanced options in the WindowEyes program group, go to the display video support maintenance and enable Remote Desktop video support. Reboot the computer. 4. On the machine you are running the remote connection from, go to the advanced options again, and go to the virtual channel maintenance. Enable the RDP (remote desktop) virtual channel. There should be no need to reboot the computer. 5. In WindowEyes on the local machine, work out where the RDP Virtual Channel is in the list of synths in the synth chooser dialog. It is either the bottom or one up from the bottom. You will need it later without speech. 6. Connect to the other machine using the mstsc in the run dialog. You will need to log in without speech. Run WindowEyes - possibly running as part of the startup group, or possibly using ctrl+alt+w. 7. There may be no speech. Choose in the WE control panel the virtual speech synth for RDP (remote desktop). You should start getting speech through and can use the remote machine as normal. I normally connect to W2k3 machines and not XP, so not sure how this works in comparison performance wise.
