Windows Remote Desktop Connection for XP?

[satindemon4u]

Hello all. At work we have some thin clients that run windows XP. The user then logs in with a genaric account and uses that to access one of many terminal servers. To access the server they use the provided Windows Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe). However, the version we have currently on some of these machines doesn't support multiple monitors. However, version 7 (I believe) does. Just last week I managed to find this update just fine through Microsoft and now I cannot find it for the life of me.

Does anyone know if they stopped providing it at this point? This is all I get now...

Does anyone know where else to grab it from?

The first link after I click download nothing happens. Then if I click "here" when the download doesn't start, I get a page error.
The second link after clicking download gives me the error page from Microsoft saying the page I requested could not be found.

Ok, at the bottom of the first page, look for the link here, and click.

EDIT


****aahahhhhh, I see, said the blind man to his deaf dog. Assuming you actually know how to download a file from Microsoft, I see the error you refer to. I've got a copy of it, if you'd like me to upload it to dropbox or somewhere.

That's exactly what I go to. Which then leads me to the download page where I click "Download" Then it says thank you for downloading and nothing happens. So I then click the link "If your download does not start after 30 seconds, click here" and get a broken page error.

sooo.... do you want me to upload a copy to Dropbox for you?

I need this download (WindowsXP-KB969084-x86-enu.exe).

Every single thing I've tried has lead to a block.

Blocked at Microsoft.

Tried dropbox link above. That's 404.

Tried Google searching, every single link I click, goes to a 404 or is broken.

Blocked at every turn.

I didn't anticipate this. As huge as Microsoft is, and they can't leave their old software up with a disclaimer that it's unsupported?

I would be VERY appreciative to ANYONE who can help!

It's been since removed. I'll put up another copy.

Also, as with everything you download from a non-official link, I recommend uploading to virustotal.com to verify it is what you expect.

No problem. This is my "morning time", so I'm usually on the forums a bit for a couple of hours. Glad to help.

 

[satindemon4u]

I was wondering who replied to my post since it has been long dead. Glad to see someone else got some help with this!

Bit off-topic but:

Make sure to post you hard drive (solid state as well) speeds! Compare your speeds to others and see what drive may be in your future for purchase!
