I think this should do what you want:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;137890

The program is installed in c:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.

</html>

N.B., you need to go into the registry too and add the command-line parameter "9001".

This link may be helpful:

It said: > parameters to services are in the registry, so you have to change the > registry. The key is something like > "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ServiceName". > Navigate to the Parameters subkey. If there isn't one, you have to create > it.

Documentation

The Scalable Display general documentation can be found at the links below:

Remote Control

The program "TCPListener.exe" must be running for remote commands to be sent. Our plan was to have it run as a user service (see first section above). But below is how to run it manually.

The program can be started with: <html>

C:\Program Files\Scalable Display\release\TCPListener.exe 9001

</html>

It probably should be put it in the startup folder.
