Hello,
Im currently using RDC on a mac running 10.4 to connecto to a windows
media center pc. I can connect succefully, but the color is 8 bit.
Everywhere i read says to change the color setting under options.
however i do not have the option button, so this presents a problem.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Scott

Could you please give the answer to the problem? I haven't found that yet...

Also, is it possible to see it full screen?

Thanks, from Spain

Juan -
Forgot to mention that yes, you can see it in full screen. In RDC's
Options go to the Display tab and using the pull down menu for Choose
the size of your remote desktop select Full Screen.

Thanks,

I can't believe I was missing the "Options" button... now, it seemes as if I
had a WinXP installed on my iBook :-)

I am simply trying to get where you are. I have a media center (hp) at
work, and an IMAC G5 at home. I need to log into work through remote
desktop.

When it asks for the name and address, etc of the other pc, where do I
get that. I have not been able to get to square one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi -
You can find the name of your PC by going to the Windows Start Menu,
right-clicking on "My Computer" and selecting Properties from the menu.

>From there click on the tab that says Computer Name. The second item

lists the full name of your computer.
