Re: Remote Desktop ActiveX Control

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have exactly the same problem as June which began about two months ago. I
previously could use RWW from my home with XP Home. Now I cannot download
the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX control. I tried all the methods June
tried and have the same issue -- the ActiveX control will not download and is
not present in Add-ons. My office IT staff have tried everything and can't
solve the problem. Others at work with XP Home SP3 do not have the problem.

As a work around I use Remote Desktop Connetion (a utility in
Programs>Accessories) to attach to our company application server to get a
desktop. I can then open Explorer and access our main server and then access
my workstation desktop. Our application server has no problem downloading
the ActiveX control and running Remote Web Workplace.

I have this same problem. It appears this is not an unusual problem. We
have done many this to get this remote connection:
My computer is a AMD duel core with Home XP. I am trying to connect to my
work computer and get this message: This portion of the Remote Web Workplace
requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. The things we have
done are: uninstall SP3, Internet Options-Security checks, added website to
Trusted Sites, inactivated Kaspersky, my security and Ad aware . The same
message comes up on Firefox. We have 3 computers in the house, this being the
newest and fastest. Something keeps me from downloading ActiveX for this
program. The compuer downloads ActiveX as needed for other programs/websites.
I need this for my job.
Manage Add on only has 2 options: Enable or disable, everything is enabled
and Find other Add on.
At this point, any suggestion would be helpful.

Hi,

I am having similar problems with my PC running XP SP3.

I too have managed to get this running on other machines, but on my home PC
after dowloading and installing the above, the Terminal Services Client
Control is not appearing at all when I go into 'Manage Add-ons' so I cannot
get past the all too familiar 'This portion of the Remote Web Workplace
requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control'

Any suggestions gratefully received

Setting up new laptop and I had none of these problems on 7 other
computers:

Connecting to the RWW: From company internal website, clicking on the RWW
link, I get: "This portion of the remote web workplace requires the
microsoft
remote desktop activex control. Your browser's security settings may be
preventing you from downloading activex controls. Adjust these settings,
and
try to connect again."

Connecting to the Client: And from the RWW (accessed in another manner)
when trying to connect remotely to the client, I get: "Remote Desktop Web
Connection ActiveX control could not be installed. A connection cannnot
be
made without a working installed version of the control Please contact
the
server administrator."

Please help. I am the administrator. I have added my server to trusted
sites, created the certificate, installed IIS and remote desktop.
Security
is set to low on trusted sites (probably dangerous, and it doesn't solve
my
problem).
