Windows 7 - RDC closes when I click "Connect"

I'd been using RDC for ages, inputting the target PC's IP address, rather
than using a VPN. Now, all of a sudden, whenever I click "Connect", the
standard Windows XP error reporting box (Remote Desktop Connection has
encountered a problem and needs to close) appears. WHY!?

I forgot to add, that both PCs, are running XP Professional, both SP3.

  David Dickinson replied to Lee

I am assuming that both machines are on a LAN and that you are not connecting
over the internet and that that is why you feel safe not using a VPN, right?
If they are connected over the internet THEN USE A VPN AND ESTABLISH YOUR RDP
SESSION THROUGH THAT!

Are there any events in the event log at the time of this error?  What
details of the problem are offered on the message dialog that is displayed?

Why do you still use Windows XP? Windows 7 Give your reasons. Do you plan to upgrade ever? If so, when and why? If you use both XP and 7, do you ever plan on ditching XP for good? What will you do when support is dropped to the point where this OS will be problematic with new hardware? Personally I am waiting for Windows 8 to release a second service pack. XP sucked when it first came out until SP1. Even then, I find the moron-babysitting did not work, it had to enabled then disabled to be disabled for real. Sigh. . .

Chkdsk / Scandisk Windows 7 I still use Windows98 most of the time. I am not fond of XP, but I have XP on my laptop computer, and must keep it to use the WIFI. One thing that really irks me about XP is that it no longer has Scandisk. Chkdsk is really a major pain to use dropped it in favor of this worthless and annoying Chkdsk. . . . .

cannot access WINDOWS UPDATE successfully . . . keeps soliciting New!Get Microsoft Update today! Windows 7 I am running Windows XP SP3 Home Edition on 1 of 4 PC's and it is been updated through early April 2011. Prior to this, accessing Windows Updates (via http: / / www.update.microsoft.com / windowsupdate / v6 / default.aspx?ln = en-us) worked to understand why. Recently, around the middle of April 2011, each time I went to Windows Update, the page initially appears and I can briefly see the 2 buttons (of which Get Microsoft Update today!" I have no interest in Microsoft Update for my PC running XP SP3 Home Edition because my other 3 PC's, all running Windows XP SP3 Professional with Internet Explorer 6 are having no problems with Windows Update.
