Slow mouse scrolling on remote XP machine

Hello,


<o> </o>


I would like to ask a question on remote desktop.


<o> </o>


I am connecting from my 64bit Win7 laptop to an old XP <span style="color:red">SP3 machine using remote desktop through a wire. The
XP machine is isolated, without any other network connection (nor Internet,
Intranet, etc., only to through wire to my laptop). In addition, there is no
firewall installed on the XP machine and the XP machine itself, although not
comparable with latest PCs, has quite decent hardware and works smoothly.


<o> </o>


A big problem, however, is the slow mouse <span style="font-size:18.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;color:red">scrolling<span style="font-size:8.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt"> I have experienced on
the XP machine. When I am browsing documents or writing code, it is frequent
needed to scroll through the document, but there is always a significant <span style="color:red">lag between my scrolling and the response of the XP
machine screen.

To show this more clearly, I have captured screenshots
comparing "free draw"/pencil in <span style="color:#00B050">MSPaint.exe.
On the Win7 laptop the curves are smooth, while on remote XP they are rather <span style="color:red">jerky, consisting of discrete points connected by
short lines between them. The screen shot is at https://sl9zbq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pvN58K-y9oWRjcNaIMrQJsuPqzufxmEooMMlsNBWyznMkwqS5qb76NNK48Jn5EcKPDY-2mS2JTfQuzcUrdLAHxf3019aeu94F/rdp.png?psid=1

I captured this comparison since scrolling is difficult to
present here, but I the culprit should be the same: that the mouse movement is
being sampled or sent to at a lower rate in the XP machine than on my laptop.

I have tried two fixes:


<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="'font:7.0pt" "Times New Roman"'>
Remote Desktop slow problem solved: <a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/microsoft/remote-desktop-slow-problem-solved.asp"><span style="'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'">http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/microsoft/remote-desktop-slow-problem-solved.asp</a>


Result: no
improvement


<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;color:black;mso-themecolor:text1;text-decoration:
none;text-underline:none'"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="'font:7.0pt" "Times New Roman"'> Mouse
pointer movement is not smooth in Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831172


Result:<span style="mso-tab-count:1"> This hotfix
doesn't apply to my SP3 machine and prompts that the version of my XP is <span style="color:red">newer than the hotfix itself.


<o> </o>


So is there any other ways to solve this problem?
