Does anyone know how to uninstall RD. I figured with the problems I am
having with it, that if I uninstall it and then reinstall it, my
problems may clear up.

On an XP Pro box you can't uninstall the Remote Desktop host software.
You
can try reregistering the software or doing a "repair install" to try
and
clean up issues with the OS.

* Re-registering Remote Desktop using the command line that follows.
Reboot the PC after doing this...
regsvr32 remotepg.dll

* Otherwise try a repair install of Windows XP... Note the warnings on
the page and backup important data just to be safe...

I forgot to ask what kind of problems are you having that you think you
need
to reinstall Remote Desktop on the host computer?
Al,
Here's my original request for help.

" I recently had to rebuild my PC and I am now having a problem
connecting with my RD.
I am running WIN XP, all updates. RD was running on the system before
it crashed.
What is happening now is that I get to the main screen and enter my
info, when I hit enter I get the following error.
It could not log me on and to make sure my typing is correct. I know
my log in name, and my password, so I am at a lost as to where to go
from here.
Did I make an entry somewhere that has my user name and password and
could have possibly entered it in correctly. When I boot up my system,
I have no problem logging in.
This happens in the LAN and WAN configuration.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do use this quit often."

I did what you suggest, running the "regsvr32 remotepg.dll", but it
did not help. I do not have a domain name for my home system. I did
make sure that all the workgroups are the same and they are.

Thanks for the help

Is this failing from one specific client PC or from any client PC you try
from over your local network?

Is this failing for all Remote Desktop User Group members or only a certain
user?

Have you tried deleting the login credentials on the client and starting
over?

I presume your using the newest Remote Desktop client software?

Make sure the XP client is configured like this...

ok, it does not make any difference if I try from inside my home
network (intranet) or try getting from work to home, I have the same
problem.
I get to the screen that is suppose to log you in. It has the blocks
filled in with the username and the password. Then a window pops up
with the following error " "The system could not log you on. Make
sure your USER name and domain are correct, then type your password
again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case."
Then the ok box. " I do not have a domain name set for my system, so I
am not worrying about that.
I have looked at the 3 pictures you sent and I was set as they show.
The only thing I can think of doing at this time is to do a repair on
the system. That is unless you may have another idea.
