Stymied by RWW & RDP 6?

We've had a few cases where RWW won't work on machines where they've had RDP 6 installed. The resolution when this happens is to uninstall RDP 6 as it appears there is a problem between the full RDP 6 client and the RDP 5.2 ActiveX component that RWW uses.

Whilst I've not personally tested this (I know - but it takes time!!) our "fix" in the meantime is to remove the RDP 6 client. Go to Add/Remove Programs, click the show updates checkbox at the top of the list and uninstall update KB925876. This takes you back to RDP 5.2 (in Windows XP).

Guess I'll do some trawling around to see if there are other articles about this anywhere but for the moment this is what we'll do.

If you know another "fix" that doesn't require removal of RDP 6 please let me know.

Dean,

I must admit that I have seen a very limited number of connection issues with RWW & MSTSC 6.0.

Perhaps one or two hiccups where I will be directed back to the list of servers or clients and then need to click again.

All of our servers and clients are running MSTSC 6.0 if that helps at all?

Thanks,

Philip
