I downloaded USB for Remote Desktop (Workstation and Server), version 2.7.
My configuration is as follows:
Workstation: Windows XP, SP2, 32-bit Server: Windows 2003 Server, Standard Edition, 32-bit, SP2
I performed the following steps:
1) Redirected my USB device (a PC-based Electrocardiograph) using the workstation console. It displayed "Ready for Redirection". However, the name of the device changed to a generic title: "Shared USB Device". 2) I initiated a Remote Desktop session by typing "mstsc /console" into the "Run" window. 3) I connected to the remote server. 4) I opened the server console, and it displayed my connection ID and the redirected device. Since the device is a plug and play device, the Found New Hardware Wizard appeared immediately. The wizard was unable to detect the driver, however.
The screens on both computers "blink" at regular intervals; the workstation console alternates between displaying "Ready for Redirection" and "Redirected"; the server console alternates between displaying a connected device and displaying no devices.
I've tried manually installing the driver without success.
I've installed the driver and operated the device on multiple other machines with no problems.
Will you please give me some troubleshooting advice?
Thanks for the description of the problem. We are aware of such an issue and our developers are currently working on a fix. I will let you know by email when a test version is ready, so that you can try it on your machine.
We have subsequently determined that the problem was with the particular device we were using. We tried other USB medical devices, and they worked well over RDP.
Regarding the particular bug, we will contact FabulaTech later for the beta version when we are ready to resume testing. I don't know why your e-mails were bounced, but thanks for trying to contact me.
I use the software USB FOR REMOTE DESKTOP (Version 2.7). But you sent me the version USB OVER NETWORK. So I can't get the test. I'll wait for the new version
