Instant Logoff after RDP Connect

[Sabine Panislowski]

Hello,

I have a Windows XP Pro SP1 (x86) machine which is configured to allow
remote desktop connections. When I try to connect from different client
machines (XP Pro SP2, Server 2003 R2, Server 2003 SP1) I get the XP Remote
login box. After entering username/password I can see the message "loading
user setting" (or whatever it is in english) and shortly after that I see
the message "disconnecting network" (well, we're using german Windows here).
Both, client and server have NO warnings/errors in their event logs. The
connection only works, after I'm logged on locally on the machine. Upgrading
the machine to SP2 didn't help.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

Sabine

I would look at making sure you have the latest video drivers installed...

Bingo! Can't believe it. I used some outdated, yet WHQL-Certified nVidia
drivers.
Now it works like a charm!

Thanks again!
