said by army dude:This laptop that replaced the desktop...is it running XP Pro or XP Home? I am pretty sure its running PRO, although I will need to check when I get home tonight. The images attached are a (very poor!) representation of what I am trying to do, just in case I wasnt clear. You will notice in the "desired set up" diagram that Laptop 1 is greyed out; this is because I am looking to only have the display be visible on the RDP client (laptop 2) and the TV.

4 edits | Okay, I see what you want to do. And, I don't know how you had it set up before, because the situation you describe sounds normal to me.
When you use remote desktop in administrative mode, it is normal for the screen to lock on the "controlled" computer, and only output the display to the "controlling" computer.
When I say the screen is "locked", this is on machines using the classic logon, it shows a message "this machine is locked, blah blah blah". I imagine if you were using the newer XP style logon, then a locked machine probably goes to the logon screen while it is being 'remoted'.
You may want to visit the networking forum, and inquire about UltraVNC. I'm sure there are versions that allow both ends to view the screen during a remote session.
EDIT: I asked about Pro or Home, because Home doesn't have the capability to be remoted with RDP. But, if that was the case, you would probably get an error message when you tried, rather than seeing a "logon screen". | |

In the meantime, would setting up an instance of Remote Assistance possibly work? In that case, both the host and the client are able to view the output. I dont know if its as robust at RDP, or how long you can stay connected, but do you think that would work?
