Well, Vista is beta. But you can try new Vista RDP 6.0 Client in XP: http://blog.tiensivu.com/aaron/archives/225-Vista-RDP-client-on-Window-XP-the-quick-and-dirty-way.html

This Works-For-Me(tm) as of Build 5308 of Windows Vista/Longhorn aka Feb 2006 CTP.
Copy mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from your Vista install's System32 directory (aka %SystemRoot%\System32) to your XP machine.
In the directory that you copied those files to, create a directory that matches your MUI language, for instance, for English (US), this would be a directory called "en-US".
Copy mstsc.exe.mui and mstscax.dll.mui from your Vista install's System32\en-US [replace en-US with your MUI] to your newly created MUI directory.

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win2000.termserv.clients/tree/browse_frm/thread/6bb236d26476cefb/#doc_72dcc60a46a101f1

Open a command prompt in that folder and run regsvr32 mstscax.dll to make sure the correct version is registered.

I also think that 32-bit color depth is supported (so it was planned) http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win2000.termserv.clients/browse_frm/thread/d4fc860dc6265ae7/
Cheers, Roman

yes but can you ore someone else confirm that the lack of sound is because of vista or am I doing something else that is wrong?

OK, bring up your Remote Desktop Connection box, click the Options box, click Local Resources, and make sure the first option is "Bring to this computer".
On the remote computer - the speakers need to be turned on as well (seems to be a bug in Vista), and also check that the volume is turned up... but *make sure* that the "Wave" volume is set to maximum as well.
If that doesn't work, bug it :o)

1) Of course I had "bring to my computer" enabled 2) What you say is incorrect. A OS does not care if it has speakers, earphones or nothing at all pluged in to the output jack, unless the speakers are USB. 3) Congratulations! Indeed turning on the volume on the pc locally enabled the remote desktop to get sound. This is indeed a bug in vista.. it should not be like that... here is a screenshot of what I have.. (I have a 2 monitor system)

Hi John Jay,
I am getting sound connecting XP Pro x86 and Vista Ultimate 5342 x64 over RDP vice versa, no problems at all. Well, the pre-loaded music in WMP 11 is a bit not my taste but it will suffice. :) -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Wow, it's nice sometimes not to know when someone insults you or thanks you... perhaps both!

Zack :-) I know I was not clear on purpose :-)
Let me clarify... I thank you very much for your help... indeed I would not have thought of turning up the volume on the actual machine. I am sure others will benefit from this information also if they find it on the newsgroups.
Can you tell me what a R2 Mentor is?
Just curious...
