Are you running the latest graphics/video adapter drivers on the Remote

I had exactly those symptoms this week. RDP host is an HP Media Center PC,
WinXP MCE SP3 with nVidia fx5200 and it was working just fine then
suddenly, I can't login from laptop.
The reverse - RDP from HP to laptop works ok.
No error messages on laptop client, just no login. Dialog blinks on connect
and resets. Netmon sniff showed connection established and then closed so
it's not a firewall issue. RDC to a Win2k server works from laptop so it's
not the client.
End result:
Battlefield 2 FPS game says, update to latest video drivers. I obediently
updated.
Simultaneously at about this time (2008-JUN-11) Windows Update fires with
hotfixes.
Remote Desktop = broken.
Came here to this group to see if there was a bug in a hotfix or something.
Run Windows Update in Custom mode and find nVidia driver update is
available. (again - I think something (BF2?) reverted it)
Perform video driver update, all current WRT Windows Update.
Reboot. All fixed. Remote desktop working again.
Whew! That was not fun. I needs me remote PC.
