Connections are very slow.
Do any of the following to increase performance:
- Clear the check boxes next to some or all of the settings on the Performance
tab under Options in the Remote Desktop Connection window.
- Reduce the screen size and color depth of the connection window. You
can do this by clicking Options in the Remote
Desktop Connection window and then selecting options on the Display tab.
- Do not run memory-intensive or graphics-intensive
programs over Remote Desktop Connection, such as video games or multimedia programs.
- If you are using a low-bandwidth connection, such as a modem, consider upgrading your modem or
installing a high-speed connection.
- Depending on the policies of your network or the configuration of the Windows-based
computer you are connecting to, the performance settings for the connection might be
restricted by the system administrator. If the performance settings you select are higher
than the allowable settings, Remote Desktop Connection uses the maximum allowable performance
settings.
