Hello,
i would know if it is possible to start XBMC in other PC (Windows XP) using Microsoft Remote Desktop.
I try to start but I have an initialization error. I suppose because OpenGL/DirectX can't start in Windows Termianl Server mode. It is correct? How can I manage XBMC with Remote Desktop ?
Thank you in advance.

Do you really need to see the Desktop?
Or just to play media?

Doesnt work with XBMC.
You can send Mouse/Keyboard commands but cant see XBMC on your PC monitor.

Thank you all for replies.
Actually I use UltraVNC and I see only a black windows where I must see XBMC window.
TeamViewer may be an alternative. I know it but it don't came in my mind.
If it fail I'll try TightVNC.
Stay tuned.

What Do I Have?
Was trying to find a way get remote desktop control of XMBC on a RPi. Followed a cpl things I found on Goggle and nothing worked. Installed tightvnc and just got a black screen. Today I typed the RPi ip address into my laptop and some type of XBMC interfaced popped up. Blank white panel with XBMC media center in the upper left and a menu: Remote- Movies-TV Shows-Music on the right.
Remote pops up a basic remote the operated the XBMC home screen on my tv! Yea!
The the other menus bring up box cover of videos in those libraries.
