"Error connecting to existing session...."?

[(PeteCresswell)]

Anybody seen this one:

"Error connecting to existing session for {UserName} ID(0).
A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Had to pull the plug and re-connect to reboot.

Are you using a ATi Radeon display adapter. Is this a Dell system?

Update to the latest driver. If the issue persists, try disabling the
display adaptor and use the standard VGA to check if the issue happens with
standard VGA also.

Yes on the adapter. No on the system - it's a CompaQ.... but
who's to say it isn't the same chipset....

Update to the latest driver. If the issue persists, try disabling the

standard VGA also.

Thanks. It's only happened once in over a year - but I'll DL the
latest drive ASAP.
