Re: Still having problems with RDP 7.6 & Win7 x64

User Account Control. The one that pops up and says "Do you want this unknown program to make changes ......." and you go ahead and click Yes. It was the constantly nagging software popup that turned off so many users in Vista. "Do you want to install this..." "Do you want this program to make changes..." "Do you want to allow this program to access the Internet..."

You can turn off UAC in Control Panel--> User Accounts and click on the "Change User Account Control Settings" link. There is a slider bar that sets the degree of annoyance or you can turn it off completely (forcing a reboot).

No wait!! It finally loaded and is running. Not sure *why* it took so long to load once UAC was enabled. But, it's running...

Sometimes expediency trumps curiosity....

I re-enabled UAC and RDp basically hung on startup so UAC, at least in
my case, seems to be the source of the problem.

I've got it working fine on my laptop. But, after the "Honey, the

Oddly enough, I had it working to the point where it would launch before.

You could change the shortcut so it just launches as administrator

Setting it to XP compatibility mode seems to be working.

but it sounds like you are trying to get to the bottom of the
problem, rather than use a workaround...

Yeah, pretty much ... but I'm not going to waste a lot more time on it.

IMO, it *SHOULD* work. But, then again, a lot of things SHOULD work.
