XP Remote Desktop resize

***Corey*** · 08-06-2005, 07:35 PM

I use XPs Remote Desktop to log into Andy's gaming server to make adjustments to UT 2004.
When I first started to use it, the whole Remote Desktop would fill my screen and I could not see my own desktop at all.

The remote had a tab on top in which to close it down.
What I did last week was to make the RD a tad smaller by resizing it, and it screwed up the view big time.

Now it looks more like a browser window to me, and I have to use a scroll bar like a browser to get down to the Start menu or any of the running tasks in the sys tray.

Here is a screen shot.
You can see the server window on top, and my own desktop peeking out from behind.
Hitting the tabs in the upper right corner to make the window bigger does no good, as it is maxed out already.

How can I fix this so it will be like before?
When Andy logs in it is normal for him like it use to be for me.

Ha ha ha ha ha, dang, what a simple fix!
Thaaaaaaaaaaank you!

That was it.
I slid the size bar all the way to the right, and as soon as I hit the connect button, it was all black with the connection bar at the top and I knew it would all be well as soon as I got logged in all the way.

Much better now.
It was bugging me the other way.
The reason I made it smaller before was to have the remote running side by side with Xfire so I could chat.

That server keeps us Busy, well mainly Andy.
He does the Counter Strike on it, and he will be putting Battlefield 2 back on.

I only do the UT 2004 stuff on it.
Everytime Steam updates Counter Strike, he has to reconfig stuff which is a nightmare.

UT on the other hand is so simple to set up, and no headaches.
