HELP!!!!

I am trying to setup a remote connection to a Windows XP
Pro. pc. I have it checked off to allow remote
connections. When I attempt to connect it will bring up
the login window and authenticate... I will see all the
icons for about 1 second... then they all dissapear and
all I can see is the background or wallpaper. Has anyone
ever encountered this? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Things I sohuld mention.
1) I have read that having a password protected screen
saver on the XP machine hosting the remote connection will
cause that, so I changed the screen saver and removed the
password protection, but it did not help.
2) The XP machine uses a Matrox Parhelia video card with
dual monitors, so it crossed my mind that maybe it was
showing us the secondary desktop, however that is also not
the case, as I dragged a couple of icons on to that
desktop with the same result when connecting from a remote
machine.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance!
 
Hi

Which ports are you trying access the remote PC on? You need to be thinking in terms of 9001/2/3.
