Ok, here's my dilema. I can use a computer all day and be just fine, until any type of programming or networking issues come up and I am useless. A place that I work at part time has all our report writing software and drawing software set up on a windows server (vpnserver with terminal services) and when you log on you have your own personal windows "desktop", if you will. If i'm off site I can log on through the company's webpage through Internet Explorer 6.0 and get to my personal "desktop." However, Mac doesn't support IE6.0. I downloaded remote desktop client and it worked great except one problem. It was so small on my PB12" that I could barely see my reports. And after reading posts I don't think I can upload photos from my hard drive into RDC. So i'm writing to see if there is a better way to do this, or get a bigger screen, or different software.
Any help is appreciated.

on the remote desktop client you can force the screen size you know.

so just make it as big as your screen and you should be able to read them better.

and safari has a debug menu u can activate and use to fake that your IE 6.0 (This might work)

I just tried to make the screen size bigger. I read through the help menu and it talked about going to options then adjusting screen size. I couldn't find options...the only two choices on the top of the tool bar are RDC and Help. You can't choose either one and find Options. It would greatly help if the RDC window took up the whole PB screen.

You get to the options field by clicking the arrow next to the word "options" in the connect dialog box. From there, it's possible to specify the resolution.
