I have a network of close to 100 machines I access all from my office using
RDP. I have run into a problem with the last machines I bought. Dell
Opti-Plex 330 with XP Pro sp3 factory installed. When I try to do remote
desktop I enter the IP and when I hit connect button it just comes back to
remote desktop screen with my IP. I installed a XPS one with Vista Ultimate
and was able to rdp with no problem. I grabbed a new Opti-Plex 330 and could
not RDP. This problem is on machine bought in the last three months, I have
reloaded three machines then they work fine. i also resell Dell computers so
I would like to find a fix so I dont have to reload every machine before I
send it out. Dell support tells me it is a Microsoft problem and I have to
reload.

You may try to enable the Terminal Services ActiveX control in IE. Or this
search result may help.

not work after install XP SP3. You may want to check there is a new update
for the software ...
