Back to RDPing to my server

That is why I couldn't RDP to my server:

That driver right there... when you went device manager, clicked on show hidden devices and it initially was with a "!" next to it saying the driver wasn't working.  With some command line stuff that I wouldn't be able to do, the PSS gang put the driver back in and all was well.  A similiar post I found in the newsgroups about it here.  Not for the faint hearted or command line challenged for sure.

Bottom line that one little bit was a bit mangled and it caused RDP to the server not to play nice.  We're back in operational order now with SP2 finally on the box for good.

(to see that driver you have to go into device manager, show hidden devices and it's in the non plug and play devices)

Hi Susan, Where did that driver appear in the tree? Was it listed under "Non-Plug and Play Drivers"? Any idea how the driver got mangled? I assume this is a microsoft supplied driver?

Susan, was this directly attributed to installing SP2 or an inadvertent coincidence?
