According to this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2009/06/19/changes-to-remoting-model-in-rdp-7.aspx RDP supports DirectX. However, when I use Remote Desktop Connection to connect from one Windows 7 computer to another Windows 7 computer, there is no DirectX. Not even the 3D screensavers work. How do I enable DirectX?

OK, but to clarify, after doing more of my own research, it seems it's impossible to enable DirectX with a Windows 7 Professional host. It would require Windows 7 Enterprise, per this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2012/11/26/remotefx-features-for-windows-8-and-windows-server-2012.aspx
Is that correct?

Sorry about the delay, I was out of office for the last couple of weeks.
Yes you are correct that RemoteFX is not support on Windows 7 professional host.
