Hi everyone
I have a windows rt tablet, I can't access windows store due to regional restriction, can anyone help me on how to trick windows store to think I',m somewhere else?
I used to run hotspot shield on laptop and share connection with my tablet, but now it doesn't work anymore. Could it be that I updated my device and it's now smarter and finds my location? If I factory reset can I fool windows store again?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Devs,
since the upgrade to Vista SP 2 I am not able to access my PC any more via remote desktop mobile.
Accessing it via my notebook works well both from LAN and WAN side.
But as soon as I try to access it via Remote Desktop Mobile on my touch HD or my TG01 I receive a connetion error and have no idea why.
I would be very happy if you could help me to find a solution for that due to I really like to boot my PC from anywhere in the world an access my sweet home desktop.
Thanks and with best Regards

die_Leuchte,
you figure this out yet? I finally upgraded to sp2(vista home pre) and I ran into the same thing. Got it working again on my xp laptop but dont really want to fire up wifi router to connect through rdp. It's driving me nuts, MS making things better once again!
Can anyone help bring rdp back to life after sp2?
I believe you have to change a system setting on the Vista PC to allow previous versions of RDP to connect. Don't remember where the setting is, but I'm pretty sure that is what it is.
Also Home versions do not support RDP hosting. Only Pro or business or higher.
Thanks Hannigan, I figured the same as well. FYI RDP does work on Vista home with a small hack, but not since sp2. There is an sp2 hack but it only allows my laptop(winXP) to connect and not my mobile. I need to find the setting on the vista pc which tells it to ignore the rdp version connecting to it. If someone could post this it would really help!!!
ok what I figured out so far is, that you need to configure the rdp host to allow clients which does not have Network Level Authenticationnetwork to connect as well. Due to I have Home Premuim with a rdp hack I do not have the menu to enable cientas without nla to connect and I did not find another solution so far (for example a reg key).
i found some info on the registry keys but I don't think I can just plug them in and get it working. I'll keep trying and post anything I find.
If you need to configure it to allow lower versions to connect, it's here.

Thats exactly what is missing in Vista home premium
And thats why we search for another solution to allow any kind of clients to connect.
I've got a pc with vista home premium sp2 and remote all enabled. router is upnp on also. no firewall or anything on vista pc.
tp2 vzw. in remote desktop on phone i put in correct vista ip and correct username and password and hit connect. immediately it says it can't connect. all connections are fine from pcs or macs to the vista pc. the phone is wifi on same lan etc and works otherwise. I don't get it one bit and would so love some help please.
Thanks so much.
Give logmein a try. I've always had troubles with remote desktop
logmein is web only.
it works though. I've used it before quite easily. There are other solutions out there as well, just visit google or search in the general ppcgeeks and xda forums
Remote desktop is all I'm asking for help on as it comes with the phone and is what I have available to me, plus it's local and that is better performance.
Have you tried the remote desktop from a PC first to verify that your home settings are correct?
I have RDP working on my Sprint TP2, and I've never had an issue with it on the Mogul or Diamond.
Are you entering the local or public IP address in the remote desktop program?
VNC
I didn't have any problems with the remote desktop on mine at all. I quit using it when I found a vnc viewer though. VNC is nice because it doesn't mess with windows logins and keeps your display without dumping to a login screen. Great for media centers.
It sounds to me like you are having a security issue. I don't what security features the WM remote desktop viewer uses, but your Vista settings might not like them.
nmap your vista box - probably your antivirus/malware/spyware/firewall suite is blocking it.
You might also try checking to see if NLA is required upon login. I'm fairly confident that the current Remote Desktop mobile clients do not support it due to the need for kerberos or certificate authentication between the client (phone) and server (pc).
Check out "Remote Settings" in the "System" control panel item, and make sure it doesn't have the option selected to require NLA.
Thanks guys.
If you re read my first post I answer all yer questions already.
Everything works from pcs or macs. No software on vista to block anything.
The only thing not working is the remote desktop on the tp2.
I'm not on my Vista box right now, but there is a setting for the security level requirement. Try lowering it:

I'm having the exact same problem. Funny thing though, it worked once, then I tried again and haven't been able to get it to work anymore. I have tried most of the roms and I'm still unable to get it to work again. I keep getting the message "Cannot connect with the current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings."
It's already set to allow anything.
hjmmmmmmmmm
Funny thing is I have the exact same problem. It works sometimes and it doesn't other.
I found a fix, even though it's kind of lame. Load up Internet Explorer. That's it. Then go to remote desktop. It should work just fine.
Why this is I have no idea but hope I helped some people out there.
I opened IE and tried RDC and it still doesn't work. Gives the error immediately.
This is really insane. I totally don't get it and really need remote desktop on my phone to work. grr.
I don't have a clue what if anything could be blocking this if anything is blocking. I connect fine from my macbook pro and other pcs, just not the phone. And vista is set to accept anything remote. I'm not running a firewall or anything on Vista either. Built in vista firewall is off too.
The only versions of windows vista that support remote desktop are Vista Business and Vista Ultimate! If you have anything lower than Business which includeds Home edition and Home Premium, Microsoft disabled the Remote Desktop feature in these OS's so that is why it is not allowing you to connect.....
Do search for it on google and you'll find a bunch more info on it.

Ya know, if you read the original post, he said that this was something that worked normally or used to work, but now has stopped working. Has nothing to do with his desktop O/S. I too am having this same problem. To get to a pc inside my network, I have to force it to build the vpn connect first by going to a lame ie page on the inside network. Once that has happened, then I can use the remote app and specify a pc to get to and it finds it. This use to work just fine on my 6800.
I know ms disabled Rdc in home premium but I enabled it which is why I'm able to connect from pcs and macs. But not from phone.
I just connected to my xp pc from phone last night just fine and I never even tried before. So on the vista I ain't got a clue.
hi all, i just bought a chromebox and am planning to ditch windows as my house is now the full google ecosystem, what i was wondering was will i still be able to connect my phone and use adb and toolkits for my phone and tablet ect. is there possibly an app for the chromebox where i can install windows in a virtual machine and use it when necessary. any help or opinions ect ect would be great thanks
I do not think there is currently a way to do that due to chrome OS does not run apps like windows. However if you want windows for a long time on your computer you can switch the switch inside your chromebox to developer mode and edit chrome to do that or install windows. I hope I helped

With Surface RT virus scanners are redundant, microsoft restrict what can run to stuff from the store, using the "jailbreak" you can gain access to running desktop apps, but they need to be recompiled, and work around api's that do not exist in Windows RT. Also AFAIK there are no virus scanners aside from windows defender that even run on it

Ok , thanks brilliant , thanks for the reply
I've actually reported a shop called Argos in the UK to trading standards simply because they keep advertising bundles of windows RT tablets + "essential" antivirus software, great but the sortware (norton, awful at the best of times) doesnt work on RT
hey all, I use my nexus 5 as a hotspot for my windows tablet. when im connected to be nexus 5s wifi I cant download any apps from the windows app store. but every other data related program on the tablet works fine. now if im connected to a traditional wifi router then the appstore will download the apps. I have been on the phone with Microsoft tech support for over 2 hours trying to trouble shoot the issue. They even logged on via remote desktop and still could not find a solution. so this is my last ditch effort to solve this problem.. bring up to the great minds of XDA.
I am using windows 8.1 non rt
Odd one.
Any add blocking / altered hosts files on your Nexus?
Only thing I can think of.
May be your account is not update..
