RE: rdpdd.dll problem



I am having this problem also, but for about a week it went away and now it
has returned. I don't have a restore point that goes back to when I first
noticed it, and sfc /scannow didn't help (although it did seem to need to
replace some files because it requested the cd).

Is there any way to force remote desktop to create some more debugging
information?

Thanks everyone.
