I cannot copy text from the remote computer to my computer.

Make sure you have redirected the Clipboard so that you can use it on the remote computer. To do this:

  1. From the Windows Vista default Start menu, point to All Programs, Accessories, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.

  2. In the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box, click Options, and then click the Local Resources tab.

  3. Under Local devices and resources, click to select the Clipboard check box, and then click Connect.
