Not offhand. Are you clear that your machine is free of both viruses and
commercial spyware or adware?

The WinXP PC I am remote controlling (where the explorers
crash) has Norton AV running, I will try to disable. But
the *only* thing that does not work is when I right-click
on the desktop. I can right click in any folder
(including C:\Documents and Settings\..\Desktop), but not
on the Desktop "background".

Background is 'none' and no screensaver. When directly
connected to the PC it works fine.

It does not seem to matter which PC I am using to connect
from.

I guess I just wanted to hear if someone else has
experienced this, know the reason or of a fix.

Thanks,
Jakob

Have you updated the video driver on the remote (crashing) machine lately?
(i.e. might this behavior relate to a new video driver that isn't working
well with Remote Desktop?)

This isn't ringing a bell with me, I'm afraid, maybe others will have more
to say.

Thanks Bill!

I downloaded the newest video driver for my built-in
adapter (Dell PC) directly from Intel and away went the
problem.

That's great--perhaps some other update had a conflict with the older video
driver.
