Remote Desktop stopped working please help

Hello, I am new to the boards and figured I would try to see if anyone has
had the same issue I am having. I have Vista Ultimate, i been remoting in
forever. All of a sudden I cannot.
I can ping the PC
I can access shares
I can ftp into it
I checked the RDP listening port in the registry
I checked the firewall
All looks good.
I have no clue whatelse to check. This has happened to me on another PC
before and I got so frusterated I just rebuilt it. I don't want to have to
do this again, there has to be an explanation to this issue.
Also that same day I noticed an X on my network connection icon in the
system tray... when I hovered the mouse over it it said "Server execution
error" so I applied the following fix I found:
>>Right click "Computer"
>>Click "Manage"
>>Under the "System Tools" section, Double click "Local Users and Groups"
>>Click "Groups"
>>Right click "Administrators"
>>Click "Add to group..."
>>Click "Add"
>>Click "Advanced"
>>Click "Find Now"
>>Double click "Local Service"
>>Click "Ok"
>>"NT Authority\Local Service" should show up in the list now
>>Click "Ok"
>>Close Computer Management and reboot.

That took care of the error, but since the remote issue started.


Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

is the service up and running?
go to start (round button) then type in the search box

services.msc

find the terminal service and see if its enabled and running

you should not be suprised that vista is crap.

Yup service is running. I was just in the terminal service discussion forum
before I was directed here. No one there had a clue as to what it could be.
