Remote Desktop (Windows) and Folding via gpu?

[senorbum]

Currently my new comp is running windows 7 and my old comp is running windows XP. What I want to be able to do is manage folding on my old comp remotely, as I only have 2 monitors and don't want to move them around all the time (can't live without dual monitors on my comp). Windows Remote Desktop is not able to run any 3d applications and consequently doesn't recognize that my computer has the appropriate driver/GPU when logging in remotely. Does anyone have a workaround?

I use UltraVNC to remotely manage my headless XP folding rig.

I use Logmein.com and one of Torin's dummy plugs

I'll give it a shot when I get home today. Thanks much.

Since you have XP, to run GPU clients, you'll need the -forcegpu nvidiag80 flag on the client shortcut, or a dummy plug.

logmein.com is nice since you can manage the system from anywhere on the web. VNC is a bit simpler but is typically used in a LAN only setting.

Didn't have time to figure this out yet. Too busy with work/holiday errands. Hopefully sunday when i'm not working or sat night I'll be able to fix it.
