Re: Remote desktop from XP to windows 2000 server

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Anything in the Eventlog on the server?
Is the server running Terminal Services in Remote Administration
mode, or in Application Server mode? If AS mode, do you have a TS
Licensing Server installed and activated?
