Alternatives to RDP under Windows 7 Professional using 2 monitors


My PC at work has Windows 7 Professional Edition which I know I cannot use the regular RDP to connect using 2 monitors.

Is there any alternative I can use to connect to a Windows 7 Professional Edition via RDP?


Solution

  • Just to clear this up

    Windows 7 pro can use true multiple monitors when it is the client (connecting to server 2008/windows 7 ult or enterprise)

    When it is the HOST (ie the one you are connecting to) it will only allow single monitor connections to it, the span option works to stretch the session over 2 screens but it ISNT true multimonitor mode

    Sorry sam but you cant connect to windows 7 pro in tru multimon mode, the screenshot you have shown is the remote desktop client, hence why the options are there
