I may have the same problem. I am only able to connect to my main, admin
logon while my system is already logged on to the same user account. I can't
log on to Remote Desktop while the sytem is at the welcome screen with no
active users. And once I've signed off of my main user account, I can't log
back in. No errors. Often it successfully connects just long enough to flash
a glimpse of the desktop, then it disconnects. Any suggestions?
