Microsoft Remote Destop and S/W?

Mar 23, 2006 8 Replies

Does anyone know if S/W 2006 can be -successfully- used with Remote Desktop under Win XP Pro?


I've done it from home to my work PC. It is kind-of choppy due to the high amount of graphical information that is being transferred. From my experience, I don't recommend it. But if you had to use it, you could.

It seemed like a good way to review designs from a client's desk without dragging him to my office.

We use Inquiero in our SolidWorks support line. Provides amazingly fast graphics, very usable. See

for details. It is not free, though.

About SW 2005, I didn't manage to make it works. Open GL? There is nothing displayed in the child graphic window. All other stuff are OK (menu, bar,...) I use RealVNC

Usable for long distance reviews.

Looked into inquiero, couldn't get a price without requesting a quote so I did a search and found a reviewer's site that claimed inquiero costs $170.00 per month. Too steep for me, but thanks for the link.

Thanks Ronan - reviewed info on RealVNC's web site and downloaded the personal edition to try it out. $30 sounds good if it does what I want.

Dameware works good with Solidworks. Very nice software and good at handling graphics.
