Windows remote desktop issue: widescreen has black bars on sides
Hey guys.
I have a problem with RDC7.
When i'm connecting to another WinXP machines with remote desktop client everything is working correctly, but when i connect to Win7 computer i get these 2 black bars on the side of the screen. (pic below)
i have widescreen monitor and i'm using Windows XP SP3 with newest rdc update.
(V:6.1.7600.16385)
Could it be because my XP is 32bit and 7 is 64bit?

When you have the Remote Desktop thing open, before you hit 'connect' go to 'options'->'display' and make sure it's set to Full Screen.
it could be resolution problem related to end computer
If the remote system has a standard (non-widescreen) display, then that is what it will push through the remote session, unless you specify a different resolution before connecting.
When you are connected to the RDP session, try using Ctrl + Alt + Pause to force full screen.

Not quite right but almost :)
Windows XP
Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
