Rdesktop and DvPlayer problems

[Delta]

So far my OS4 experience is great on the SAM460 but I have 2 frustrations and would be grateful for some help:

Rdesktop: When I enter the ip adress, login and pw for my Win7 PC all I get is a rdesktop icon that goes sit on the left of my screen then nothing happens....  Its a registered version so it should support win7....then what am I doing wrong?

Dvplayer can't play squat...if I try to load a DVD I get a Async io error that never goes away and finally hangs the whole machine...  then again wtf am I doing wrong?  

If anybody has helpful advices you are welcome

Thank you

For some reasons now it seems to try to read the dvd but shows a blank screen on Dvplayer.  No sound either.  I'm connected on a sil3114 4 ports card along with the HDD.

Thanks for the help but when I am in the remote desktop properties in win7 there is only one option called "allow remote assistance for this computer".  Are you sure about the location of this option?  I have a Home edition btw...not Pro.

Some hope for Dvplayer, I am now able to play an AVI but without sound

Hotrod your nickname is well chosen!

The codecs did the trick, I can now play a DVD with sound!  Now if only they could update that driver to remove the crackling noise

As for Rdesktop I wonder if Win7home should be or will be supported....vnc is an option of course but i'd rather use what i've paid for.

Thanks!
