Remote Desktop very slow and jerky Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 2:04 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by cooljoebay (2 messages posted) Hey all Hopefully someone knows how to solve this. I recently connected to a friend's pc via remote desktop just using their ip address. They have satellite isp and I use DSL. When I connect to them, everything runs awfully slow. Just clicking a button is a delay of 1 or 2 seconds. I opened their task manager and cpu usage is low it seems. Same on my end. I did not use a VPN. But I will mention that a few weeks ago I did use a VPN with remote desktop to connect to a lab pc at school. It worked perfectly fine. We both use Windows XP Pro SP2. Would setting up a VPN solve this problem or could it be something else? I dont think its internet connection speed. Thanks for any help. --JJ Responses to this message: re: Remote Desktop very slow and jerky (Steve: Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 2:12 pm) re: Remote Desktop very slow and jerky (MartinM: Sunday, May 17, 2009 at 4:14 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Remote Desktop very slow and jerky (cooljoebay: Sun, May 17, 2009, 2:04 pm) re: Remote Desktop very slow and jerky (Steve: Sun, May 17, 2009, 2:12 pm) re: Remote Desktop very slow and jerky (MartinM: Sun, May 17, 2009, 4:14 pm) re: Remote Desktop very slow and jerky (cooljoebay: Sun, May 17, 2009, 5:14 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
