As you can see the logon screen and enter your credentials everything
with the connection is fine.
On Windows XP users who want to connect remotely must be members of
the local group "Remote Desktop Users" except Administrators which are
granted that
right by default.

Check if your account is in that group or has enough rights. Try the same
procedure with
an administrative account and look what happens.

If also the administrator cannot connect vie Remote Desktop take a look at
your local policy
with gpedit.msc or if you are in a domain, ask your domain administrator.

You have a WEB link to connect / remote PC's with 98, ME and/or XP?
Or a tip or web site with help files?

Thanks Peter M.

There was nothing in the "Allow Login through Terminal Services" policy. Put
in the Administors group and it connected like a charm!
