I was able to copy the newest version of remote desktop from vista to my xp install. Now I can have remote desktop sessions in 1920 res. Obviously you'll need a hi res display in the 1st place. On xp go into safe mode with networking and do a search on your system32 folder for mstsc. Make copies of mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll for backup. Delete the files from your system32 and system32\dllcache folders. Now browse to your vista install (or copy them to a usb key beforehand) and copy the following files keeping them in the same dirs:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstscax.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\en-US\mstsc.exe.mui
C:\WINDOWS\system32\en-US\mstscax.dll.mui
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\mstsc.mof
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\mstscax.mof
That's it. It even allows 32bit color. I hated the max res of 1600x1200 ever since I got my 2405s. OSX was able to do 1920 but I didn't know of a way for xp.
