| Remote Desktop Connection for Mac + Intel? Quoting http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherpr...edesktopclient "With Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac, you can connect from your Macintosh computer to a Windows-based computer and work with programs and files on that computer. Mac users who have access to a Windows-based computer on a network, including users on Intel-based Macs, can use Remote Desktop Connection as an alternative to Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac." I follow the download link from this page, and I can chose between a .hqx and a .bin file. I tried to download the .bin first, but it opened up in Excel, and I couldn't find another way to execute it. The .hqx file wanted to be started in the finder, but once I tried to start it, it seemed like nothing was happening. Anyone know how to get this working?  |

| Use StuffIt Expander (available from allume.com) to uncompress/decode .bin and .hqx files.

| The expander is free, by the way. Doug

| Thanks a lot guys. May be worth a note that the email submission form on allume.com didn't work (tried three different email addresses - so will see how much spam I get now  ) I had to google for an alternative download link (which was the link on the same domain - I guess the same I would get in an email).However, I got Remote Desktop Connection to work after this, Thanks a lot for your help  cheers, |
