Window just disappears without warning or reason...enter my login name and password and then enter, 30 plus seconds of frozen screen and then the screen disappears and connection is lost. No error message, nothing. Just closes. Happens the same way when other outside computers attempt to login.

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).
