Remote Desktop Logoff

After finishing a Remote Desktop session I click Start-
Logoff and Windows XP does not respond at all. The only
action it will respond to is Disconnect.

Anyone have any ideas?

What happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-End then select Logoff? Does it
work there?

Same thing Jeff. No response. I have made no weird
changes to my local security policy settings for TS
either. This one has me puzzled. ATI video driver
perhaps? Maybe my experience settings within the RDP
connectoid?

Help!

Well, it could be video - there are all sorts of weird problems that
are caused by video card drivers.. You might want to try updating it
if a newer driver is available to see if it will helps..

It should not be GP or other other configuration settings in he RD
Connection Client...

I too can only see "disconnect", which leaves the system
locked for any other users. I'd love to find the proper
solution, but for now I open a command window and issue
the command 'shutdown -r', which reboots the machine. How
very elegant . . .!

I actually have a Gateway laptop with a Mobility Radeon 7500 video card in it, that does the same thing, I can select logout all day long to no effect, but when I hold down Control and click logoff, out I go....I'm going to update the video drivers and try again...after updating the drivers, I am able to log in and out with no problems...
