[thelist] Remote Desktop Client on XP Home?

[David Bailey]

Hi Wesley,

I've tried doing what you have said and also using Interachy and can now
download an img file. But now I can't open the file!

When trying to open the file I get VNCTHing.img" failed to mount due to
error 95. (no mountable file systems).

Any ideas?

David
