Describe what it does when it closes. Does the window immediately
disappear or is it saying you are logged off? Other usual
alternatives involve seeing a black screen then a disconnect.

I do not suspect the firewall is the issue since I am making a connection to the remote computer from outside the firewall into the firewall (I get the logon screen and I can view the connection on the firewall's "Host Watch") After I enter my username and password the screen freezes for over 30 seconds and then RDC program along with the connection shutsdown, without any messages (FYI: NVidia Service is not loaded on the remote computer).
