Windows 7 Remote Desktop Display Problem - revisited

[alex1997]

I have 2 systems running Windows 7 beta.

When I do a Remote Desktop from one of the Windows 7 computers (computer A) to Windows 7 (computer B) the remote desktop display is fine.

However, when I do a Remote Desktop from computer B to computer A the remote display is all black except for the desktop icons & task bar.

I discovered that if I click "personalization", select a background theme and then exit out, the desktop is now OK. As I'm doing this, there is a message saying "desktop backround turned off during remote sessions, select Desktop Background check box in Remote Desktop" Cannot find anything like this box.

All video drivers are up to date.

Suggestions please.

TIA
