I can log in once, use the remote machine ok, and disconnect or logout, but remote desktop login hangs if I try to log in again. The remote computer login process completely hangs. I can't go to it's console to get in, I either get a message there about processing a login or just a blank start screen. I have to hit reset on the box to reboot and get back in. I am using the exact logout or disconnect instructions in the help for remote desktop connection.
Local machine is xp sp 3, with remote desktop connnection client 6.0.6001.18000. I never had this problem with earlier version. (Is there any way to get the old version of the client back? I never should have installed this update. I can find no way to uninstall remote desktop connection, it's one of those built in features.)
Remote can be either vista32 or win7-64 in my case. I thought I had this problem fixed a few months ago, but it's back now. No one has come up with a solution, I think it's a bug in microsoft software. It should never hang the remote machine regardless of how I misuse it. I've worked this problem through microsoft forums and newsgroups to no avail.
Please don't respond if you are just going to recommend another type of software for connections.
Answer
I found that the problem is in recent versions of zone alarm for windows 7. There is no eta for a fix but they told me they are working on it.
