RDPclip.exe causing CPU load on Windows XP Pro - Solution !

I have been attempting to diagnose why 1 of the 2 machines I use for remote
access from OS X 10.3.4 using RDC 1.02 is going slow.

The reason for the slowness of the machine is a program called RDPclip.exe
that chews up 99% of the CPU when it can.

After rebuilding the problem machine from scratch and installing each
application separately I have discovered that a program called Netlimiter is
the cause of my problem.

I have seen mention from a couple of other people of the same problem, and
it may be that other software causes the same effect.

In any case, at least there is one definite cause !

Not quite sure how that's a solution, merely a discovery of what's causing
the problem.

I do however have a solution for some people (:

If you're using a realtek network card on the computer running windows,
updating to the latest realtek drivers completely resolved the issue for
me.

Pretty sure this is the driver I got (v6.18):
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True#16
Windows


I have also tried using a Compaq NC3121 nic since it's intel based and
i've never had issues with intel nic's before, but for whatever reason,
the latest driver from HP (hp and compaq have merged since the card was
made) doesn't solve the issue. I can't seem to get the appropriate driver
from the intel site to work with this card so not sure if there's a
significant difference between the cards or if 'forcing' windows to use
the intel driver would solve the issue.

I'd be interested (and i'm sure others woudl too?) to hear if anyone else
uses netlimiter + RDC from a mac to windows PC and has never experienced
the issue - what NIC are you using?

For the record I'm currently using RDC for OS X 1.03 (currently the latest
version - 1.02 had the same issues)

I have experienced exactly the same problem with xp pro, RDPclip.exe and
netlimiter. NIC is Intel pro 1000. Killing the rdpclip.exe process brings
the cpu usage back down - but obviously prevents remote clipboard pasting
etc.

Disabling net limiter seemed to have no effect. However disabling remote
sound routing in the mac RDP client seemed to do the trick. Rdpclip.exe
usage normal afterwards.

How do you disable rdpclip.exe?
