Hi guys!
I am trying to use the remote desktop function within my home network. So far everything just went fine. I am running XP Pro on the one and Win2000 on the other machine. Still there's a problem. Every time I try to open an explorer window mtsc.exe crashes and the connection hangs up.

Any clues why this is happening? Are the OS versions not "compatible"?

Thx for every hint I get!

which one are you connecting to??

WinXP -> Win2k?
Win2k -> WinXP?

I did it once connecting
WinME -> WinXP and that was fine

I am connecting from win2k to XP.

and the 2k box is the one that hangs or the XP?

Looks like my description of the problem lacks of useful information :)

Well, it's no full crash of the Os. It's just the remote connection crashing.
 
over the local network is a bit weird, do you normally get any packet loss between the two machines??
 
I have the same problem...
Switching off the Themes setting within the Remote desktop app solves the problem...
Somehow w2k doesn't like it...

Thx all for the input!

@gajef
You were right. Remote Desktop Connection seems to hate the themes. Turned it off and voila :) Thx a lot!
 
how peculiar seeing as WinME had no problems, wow omg, there is something good about WinME

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
