Remote Desktop HELP! PLEASE!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Hi, I'm having a problem with this. I have two PC's running XP Pro. They are
on the same LAN. When I try to connect to my desktop I see the wallpaper for
5 secs, and then it disconnects (and a quick pop-up that says "saving your
settings" ). This is only if I'm not logged on to the computer to which I'm
trying to connect. If I log in to the computer and then connects to it via
remote desktop I have no problems. Why???

I hope for help, thx in advance

Thanks!!! That did it!!!

I now wonder why the resolution is only 16 bit, both 'puters are doing 32.

Also, why is the highest setting in RD 24???
