Window FX should disable when Remote Desktop is accessed

Cannot see anything

November 22, 2006 2:04 PM from

I frequently access my home PC from work using Remote Desktop, but when I do, if Window FX is running I just get a blank screen and RD eventually just quits. Being a software developer myself, I have thought about putting up a monitor service to watch for Terminal Services activity and automatically kill Window FX, and then sharing it with the community .... but then I thought, heck, this is something that should be fixed in the product, I should just put in a complaint and cross my fingers.

Hence, this post.

BTW, Window FX is running on the Windows XP machine (my home PC) that is hosting Remote Desktop service (Terminal Services). It is also running on the Remote Desktop client machine (my work PC), but that's irrelevant.

Also BTW, this might be issue in context of my favorite WindowBlinds skins utilizing some WB features. Combined, WFX+WB result in this blank screen.
