    They need to fix the remote desktop connection app in windows 7. When you minimize it, then maximize it from the toolbar/taskbar, it then displays a black screen. Only way to refresh it is to close it and reconnect. Is that better? LOL :laugh:

      How do you know it goes to a black screen if it is minimized? That statement doesn't make sense to me? (or maybe i am just missing something, apart from some grey matter before the wise cracks start!) Can you elaborate..........

          He does state he first minimizes the app and then maximizes it from the toolbar (I suspect he means the Taskbar) and then sees a black screen in the RDP session.

            I keep encountering even funnier bug. If during active RDC host turns off VGA (power saving mode), it won't wake up primary monitor. So before you disconnect from the host you have to disable VGA driver and than enable it again to be able to use host locally :)

              Yeh better! I have just tried 2 RDP sessions, one to a Server 2003, the other to Win XP from Win7 Ultimate. Both behave themselves, i tried from both full screen and windowed sessions, and the min/max works fine. There is a black screen for a fraction of a second as the window resized from min to max, but eveything works fine.

                You sure it's not a video driver issue? RD in Win7 works perfectly for me everytime.
