I might have a solution. There might be a limitation that a RDP server can not be rebooted without local login more than once a day. But since I don¨t wan't to hook up a monitor and keyboard a quick workaround is to enable automatic login using Tweak UI (think it must have admin rights). This however results in that session 0 (console) loades the audio-driver or mixer. But when you connect using RDP another session (session 1) will be started and thus results in windows complaining that "can not load driver" due the fact that it has already been loaded. To get around this try connecting to session 0. In WinXP3 + Vista this was previously available through mstsc.exe /console. But it has been replaced with mstsc.exe /admin. Read more about it here http://blog.shijaz.com/2008/01/no-more-mstscexe-console.html . Using mstsc.exe /admin I confirmed that the driver was correcly loaded. Now I moved the sound mixer loader to my custom user¨s startmenu / startup directory. You might have to change that user's permissions to be able to load drivers. All this assumes you´ve changed the mstsc "bring sound to.." feature as well as changed the RDP settings on the server which by default is set to disabled. good luck!

During my studies I´ve used an academic alliance aquired license (windows xp). But soon I will use my computer outside the academic world and thus have to change the license key. The problem is that I don´t want to reinstall my entire laptop. Is there a way to alter the typ of license from student to a OEM key? Thanks, Erik
