I have a question. Should we expect XP users to be seasoned?
Bob
I am having issues on my Windows XP desktop using a 24" Dell monitor when I connect to this system using mstsc from a new Windows 8.1 desktop with a 27" monitor.
After closing the remote session and then accessing the XP desktop directly the connected display aspect ratio is off (screen is wider and requires scrolling to see the task bar and much of the screen). I have tried reboot (power off) and also reinstall the display drivers. Have tried resetting the display properties with no success.
Previously I was connecting from a similar XP system that also had a 24" monitor and did not encounter any issues.
