I’m not able to connect to my computer using remote desktop. I can connect
using third party software, so the connectivity is there. I can connect to
OTHER computers from this computer. The computer is in a domain. “Allow users
to connect remotely to this computer” is checked. I’m a selected remote user.

We think (IT dept) if we uninstall and reinstall the remote desktop from the
OS CD, it might fix what ever component is missing. Can you tell us how to do
this? Thanks.

Any firewall software running on the desktop that may be blocking incoming
Remote Desktop requests?

we have tried all these fixes. we need to find out how to un-install it and
then we will reinstall it from the CD. thats what we need to do. the IT
people have spent days on this trying to fix it. last time, they re-installed
the entire OS over the top. that fixed the problem, but created many other
problems. so this time, i do not want to reinstall the entire OS, just the
remote desktop.

firewall is as it should be. ff

Have tried the reregistering of Remote Desktop, ie. run the
command...

regsvr32 remotepg.dll

....then reboot the PC. If that does not fix the issue then I suggest a
repair
installation. Note the warnings on the page...

I tried this and it said successful. but i still get a network error:

Dialog title: Remote Desktop Disconnected
The connection was ended because of a network error. Please try connecting
to the remote computer again.

Last time i reinstalled over the top (my IT people did this), I got so many
problems with most of my applications, that I can not allow this to happen
again. I had to rebuild a NEW computer becuase of the issues. No i ahve the
new computer, but my remote desktop is not working. Again, using third party
software, it does connect, so I know it can work. but its very slow and
unusable (30seconds from mouse click to response) using the third party
connection software

can you possibly find someone that might have suggestions on how to resove
this without running repair XP?
