Q: Is there any way to keep Microsoft RDC for Mac OSX from disconnecting when I start typing?
I am able to login to remote computers using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac OS X (version 2.0.1). I can launch applications and open folders on the remote system without any problems. However, anytime I start typing it immediately disconnects me from the remote system.
I have resorted to using TSClientX, which works, but doesn't have all the great features that RDC for Mac OS X has.
My PowerBook is running 10.5.8. The remote systems are Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.
I have tried uninstalling the latest version of RDC for Mac and going back to several older versions, that did not resolve the issue.
I have tried restoring the keyboard shortcuts, that did not resolve the issue (though, I never made any changes to the configuration anyway).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I'm going to post this on a Microsoft Support forum as well, but thought I'd see if anyone here had any suggestions as well. Thanks in advance!
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hello,
There seems to be an ongoing problem when using RDC 2.0.1 for Mac with Windows 7. Found that it's done that with me a few times when connecting to a Windows 7 machines. Unlike Windows XP which it seems to work fine connecting to. Using 1.0.2 can sometimes resolve this problem, however I've found CoRD to be better than MS RDC.
Here is the link http://cord.sourceforge.net/
See if that resolves the problem.
Best of Luck.
