Remote desktop install = vm?


My desktop is recognized as a virtual machine for some unknown reason when i reinstalled deimos :o I was controlling the desktop trough remote desktop so maybe that's a part of the problem but it's kinda weird :p

I do have vmware installed on the pc but it's a physical pc, not much virtual material around here. It's'just a simple plain pc with xp on it so i wonder what's going on :p

LINK to the page of my desktop.


I dont know if it will resolve itself but it's an interesting situation nonetheless :d

In 0.8.23 I added some extra code to detect virtual machines. It worked fine for around 5 computers but sometimes it seems to glitch. If you restart the deimos service, it's often gone... very strange...

I have removed the code for 0.8.24 (coming soon), the other VM-detection methods are pretty reliable :)

When i tried to restart the service i still reported my pc as a virtual machine.
After that i tried to remove and reinstall the deimos program as a whole but it still reported a virtual machine.:o

If i'm back home i'll try to install it without the use of remote desktop. Although i still wonder what remote desktop has to do with it :)
