Remotely Logging Off stopped working



I have a Gateway 600X notebook with XP Pro, latest updates and service packs
on it, running on a network with several other computers running XP also. I
used to be able to use Remote Desktop Connection to log into it and do
maintenance, then Log Off. In the past couple of weeks, it has stopped
allowing me to Log Off. I can click Start, Log Off, then it asks me if I'm
sure I want to Log Off, and I click Yes, and that box goes away, then
nothing. Its like I never requested to be Logged Off.

Before the problem started, I used to be able to do the Norton2005
LiveUpdates via Remote Desktop Connection, and at the end it would say it
needed to reboot, I'd click OK, and it would reboot. Now it doesn't do that
anymore. It just sits there like I'd never requested a reboot. Its not
locked up or anything, I can continue working on it.

I can do Start, Disconnect. That is successful. Then I have to get up, go
walk to the notebook, unlock it using the same login & password, and *then*
I can do Start, Log Off. Or I can do Start, Shutdown, Restart the computer.
Everything works locally, but only Disconnect works remotely.

Help!
