Dual Screens

[Guest Peter F]

Hi All,

 

Please could someone offer some advise i have with a setup at home.

 

The current setup is as follows...XP (SP2, Desktop Machine) connected to a

wireless router. I also have a wireless laptop with Vista installed.

 

The laptop is conneted to a (Pioneer PDA503 42inch TV) via a VGA cable. The

laptop is set up to use the PDA503 as the primary monitor. The laptop has a

Remote Desktop connection to the XP machine. I can successfully remote into

the XP machine and navigate around creating office documents - saving etc

using the 42inch screen however, when i attempt to start the Rome Total War

game i receive a DirectX error. I am able to use the XP machine to play Rome

Total War and any other game if i am at the machine as opposed to a Remote

Desktop connection.

 

I suspect that it may be something to do with the screen display although i

have tried it in many other flavours i.e. 1024x860 etc.

 

Please can anyone offer any advise or point me to the correct user group so

that i can resolve this issue.

 

Kind Regards.
