I have a customer who has been having slow network connectivity. At once point they were fiddling around with the network and now in the network connections they're showing an interface called Internet Connection in addition to their normal connections, one which I am unable to delete.

You mean a windows remote desktop session? How would that be able to generate a new desktop, unless you mean logging in as a different account. Could I have the MCE desktop running on its current Windows login, create a new login on the machine, and then remote in as the new login via rdesktop?

According to what I've found, the max resolution of the 17 447Xi is 1280x1024. In this case, I would agree--dual 7900GT's is a waste. You're spending all this money on video cards, CPUs, etc...why not upgrade from that POS to a big new LCD? Greg - Original Message - From: Veech
