Didn't see this mentioned before in the thread unless I missed it.

TightVNC plus Mirage Driver for TightVNC is instant win!
Recommended Add-ons

* To achieve best performance under Windows 2000, Windows XP and above, download and install DFMirage mirror display driver (free download). TightVNC Server can use this driver to detect screen updates and grab pixel data in a very efficient way.



Without it, playing Solitaire on the computer the cards would streak and stain the screen so I basically was looking at desktop, graphic mush during a game.

Running Nester (NES Emulator) wouldn't even display on the Tablet's screen.

With http://www.demoforge.com/dfmirage.htm installed, zero streaking in Solitaire, faster screen updates, and running a Nintendo game in Nester looks practically perfect.

Only downside is that when you first log in, it tends to not display the entire screen for some reason. So I just open and close a full screen web browser or text file and that does the trick.
