Remote Desktop Connection protocol error

tripleGinteractive — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:27:59 +0000

We connect to remote computers via Remote Desktop Connection from time to time. Whether its to connect to a windows server or to connect to a desktop that is at a remote office. Some of our computers have a custom theme that will alter the look of the computer. These themes give the RDC problems. We get an error like

Because of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again.

We can connect to the remote computer just fine, but as soon as its done loading it throws the above error. Well, the error isn’t exactly helpful. What has fixed the problem for us has been to go to the Advanced settings and then to Experience tab in the Remote Desktop Connection. Uncheck the Themes checkbox and this should solve your problem. (see below)

If you continue to have problems from Windows 7 to another desktop/server, then you can try unchecking the Bitmap caching.

Yves Rossy aka “Jetman” flew over the English Channel using his own jet pack. It was pretty awesome to watch him do this. He wore the wing which was made of carbon composite and weighed about 120lbs along with a heat resistant suit.

Firefox 3 sets a world record

Firefox has no doubt been breathe of fresh air. With all its add-ons and plugins you really have to love it. Well, I do know there are some people who hate it and thats the people who made other web browsers and the people who designed their website for IE6 or higher (whew, sorry to take you back to the late 90′s).

To this date, Firefox 3 has been downloaded over 28 million times and in the process they set a Guinness World Record for the software with the most downloads in 24 hours.

You can see Mozilla’s dedication to the record here. If you were like myself, then you helped them achieve that record. You can create your own certificate for helping Mozilla reach the record.

USB Cell has come up with a really awesome product. Rechargable batteries are nothing new, but charging them by simply plugging them into your computer or any USB port, now thats awesome!

I bought a new tablet PC from HP.com and found these batteries as an optional accessory when checking out. I had to buy some and check out this company. They are pretty innovative and definitely something I will be recommending to all my friends.

The Cubicle is 40 and dead.

Well its obviously not dead, dead, but According to this Time (blog) article, the cubicle was originally designed 40 years ago. You know, the cubicles that suck the life of whoever is ‘lucky’ enough to inhabit such a vessel.

IDEO, a design company, teamed up with Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, to create the ideal cubicle. Its pretty interested to see where creativity will take you, but I still don’t ever want to be in a cubicle.

Take a look at the Time blog article Happy 40th Birthday Cubicle! Now die!
