    Default Windows Remote Desktop...

    Hey guys, i was just curious if anyone knew of a way to Enable Direct 3D through windows remote desktop... im running XP Pro SP2 and my setup is my main PC and then another PC that i just have connected to the network without a KB, mouse, or monitor that i use to play games as well.

    Or, if i cant enable direct 3d through remote desktop, does anyone know any good programs that would allow me to do this? Thanks guys any help is appreciated!!

    i don`t think that would ever be possible, just think about it your gfx card renders the picture the remote desktop drivers captures it then send it over the data link then your computer reconstructs the picture, all takes time and would be to slow to be useful.

    if the other PC is nearby , you'd be better getting a kwm switch so you can use 1 keyboard,mouse and monitor for multiple PCs
