XP Pro Remote Desktop Client Arrow keys problems

I experience a strange problem with my XP Pro Remote
Desktop client at home when trying to work remotely on my
XP Pro PC at work; the arrow keys dosen't seem to work
properly. For instance, when inside text boxes the arrow
keys marks the text when moving over it. The normal
behavior of the arrow keys should be just to move over
the text and not mark anything. Strange right?

I'm sure it's something wrong with the Remote Desktop
Client at my XP Pro PC at home, since this problem
dosen't occur with other XP Pro PCs I've tested with.

I really hope someone can help fix this annoying problem.

Thanks!
 
The reason for these problems seems to be because I've
installed the ATI Catalyst 3.5 driver package on my home
computer. The ATI Control Panel is obviously causing
these problems according to these threads:

Yep - same problem here. Fortunately for me the 3.6 drivers do what I
need without the Control Panel installed (and all works well then). I
put in a request for help with ATI - it would probably be a good thing
for many of us to let them know there's a problem so they'll fix it...
