I have had this problem with several machines back when I used VNC to connect. Once I connected with VNC, the only way to connect with remote desktop was to reboot the machine. (Or maybe it was vice versa.) Anyway, the problem ended up being that they shared the same hooks. Once one took over the hooks, it wouldn't release them. Are you using any other software that could be used for remote connections? -Dak ===================== Dak Aldrich Network Administrator College of Music, MSU [log in to unmask] (517) 432-5045 ===================== On 10/15/07 11:19 AM, "Peter J Murray" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello > > I'm having a weird problem with remote desktop on a new computer.
