are answered. No, it HAS NOT been resolved. It has been ignored in the normal manner today's "support" techs do asking us to take those "idiot steps" which have been pushed on us for over thirty years by Microsoft whenever there is a problem they do not know how to fix! I have done everything, including reinstalling Windows 7 and the problem persists. I NEVER had any problems with this using WinXP but this version is VERY buggy. Please post if you find a way to revert back to an older version, because this greater, more secure version just isn't working right. And to be specific, you are correct. The problem occurs more often during a "reconnect." I basically have to reboot my machine every time this happens in order to log in. I'd gladly be willing to tool in anything for a smooth operation. It's making my overall impression of Windows 7 sink... To add to the earlier information I gave in this thread: I have tried connecting using a laptop running Windows XP SP3, another laptop using Vista, and after upgrading the Vista laptop to Windows 7, I tried using both the ""super secure" remote desktop selection and using the "less secure" remote desktop selection. I tried connecting the Windows 7 laptop to a plain vanilla install on the desktop, on the host desktop computer, with Windows 7 Premium, Professional and Ultimate. Again, I usually do connect the first time from a laptop regardless of the the OS
