Re: Active X error attempting to connect to RDP through RWW

No Mike, Windows ME is not supported, at least not to any great extent. I know Microsoft no longer provides standard support for ME and I'm pretty sure the Extended support period is over too

Hi I'm Mike and I'm having the same problem as above. The only difference I
see is I'm running Windows ME. Is Windows ME not supported?
Most links I found tried to get me to download tswebsetup.exe. It prompts
that its not compatable with my version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. mike
