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


RDesktop kind of works with Win 7 and is faster than VNC. I use both :-P .

In Windows 7 you need to change a setting and I will typ this translated from swedish by me so excuse me if it isn't perfect. I hope that you'll understand. I also think that this is mentioned in the RDesktop docs but...

Right-click on the "Computer" icon (either start-menu or if you have it on the desktop), choose "Properties", choose Remote settings (or whatever it is called). There you will find three options under "Remote Desktop". Choose the one in the middle. Click "OK".

Not being in front of my Amiga right now but I think that I've just typed in the password used to log into Windows, IP-number and that's it.

Things that doesn't work with Win 7 is that sound isn't played over network which worked with Win XP. Also when you move windows graphics isn't redrawn correctly (you'll see what I mean).

When using VNC I use TwinVNC in AOS 4 and on the PC I use TightVNC and it works great as well but not as fast.

Aha, then it won't work AFAIK, you need another edition (I think Pro, Bussiness, Ultimate will work). Stick with VNC then, like I wrote TightVNC and TwinVNC works fine.

I even reinstalled with the version from their website and still no audio. :confused: I think it's all related to the damned unfinished audio driver. :crazy:


Just in case, have you installed the libs mentioned in the second post here:
