The video card RDP bug nailed me today

So I'd always heard about this, not seen this in action... well now I did today.  Nvidia video driver and AFTER the installation of .NET family patch (that I had been holding off installing) I could no longer remote to a machine.  I would rdp and the windows would immediately come back.

When remotely connecting to the event viewer I saw this:

Mind you, nothing was actually being seen on the workstation in question, I just couldn't connect to it after the install of the .NET family update. (951847 - http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2009/11/02/net-patch-gets-offered-up-all-by-itself.aspx)

Getting a new driver didn't help, I had the latest driver.

Only the registry fix worked:

It's a registry fix that increases the size of the session image space.  Add the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"SessionImageSize"=dword:00000020

Where 00000020 is hex for 32
