vista to vista can't ctrl+alt+backspace to login?

from Stardock Forums

All,

I have my desktop (vista enterprise) and my dell laptop (vista enterprise) MP has been working flawlessley. I just got a new HP laptop with a fresh copy of vista enterprise. I can no longer use ctrl+alt+backspace to sent a CAD to my laptop. I don't remember having to set any options on my dell to get this to work. Thoughts?

Yeah. When this is going to be fixed? Vista is out for a while.

STILL a problem for me.  Running two machines with Vista Business 32-bit...

Was this suppose to be fixed in version 1.22 because I have it and it is not working.

I'm running Windows XP on my primary machine and the latest RC of Windows 7 on the secondary. I'm running Multiplicity 1.22 and I still cannot do a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE on the Windows 7 box.

Any ideas?

I found something on another website one day. I work for a help desk and we utilize Multiplicity. From what i understand it is part of the User Account Control settings that block this from functioning. I had 2 Vista machines where i had run into this problem. When i turned off the UAC on both machines i no longer had this issue. This is not a good solution for those who are using this in a business like i am, (and inevitably we couldn't use that fix due to security issues) but it should work for a home user.
