Remote Desktop Connection

I'm having a problem with my Remote Desktop Connection.

I was connected earlier today and I was running some utilities, everything was running fine. I had to reboot and after reboot I get the log in screen and I enter my credentials and XP logs in and then immediately logs me out everytime. I've tried all accounts, Admin and other misc accounts I created. Anyone know what is causing this?

I've seen this on here before.. I think someone recommended a Boot in safe mode then back up to a restore point before this started happening. Had something to do with some corupt files or a virus.. I can't remember which but when I do I'll edit this. Till then try that which should work and put you back up and running.

I had that happen once. It turned out being that the user was still logged in and no more connections permitted. Try rebooting the box your trying to connect to or manually disconnect them.

Sid's suggestion is the first thing that popped into my head too. I often find this happening. Another way to get in may be through the console RDP connection. Instead of running the default RDP (mstsc.exe) try
start
run
mstsc /console

Use the rdp client that then pops up.

I was still unable to connect. I had to go onsite and log in. When the desktop came up I got the Event notification that it had recovered from a serious error. Not really sure how since it was running fine up until I rebooted it. *shrug* Guess I know now.

Thanks for the help guys!
