Remote Desktop Connection Runs In Safe Mode But Freezes Otherwise
Feb 23, 2012
I have a Dell XPS studio desktop that runs Windows 7 Home and I have been trying to connect to my work computer, which runs Windows 7 Professional. I connect via the internet through Remote Desktop Web Connection on Windows Small Business Server 2003. I can connect to my computer fine, but usually after only a few seconds of clicking on files, it freezes on me, causing IE to freeze. When I do this in safe mode, it does not freeze, so that tells me there must be a conflict on my system. I have a suspicion that it's something to do with my ATI graphics driver.
When I try to start my laptop, windows 7 hangs after a few seconds and i can only move the mouse. Ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything either. It runs fine in safe mode though.
really have never seen anything quite like this. When I boot up my PC and it gets to the desktop, a program window pops up and the mouse and keyboard will not work.Therefore, I cannot clear the program from the desktop or go anywhere to run scans or the like to see if the problem is virus related. When I go into safe mode, it does the same thing. I tried restoring to last known configuration with no System Restore shows no restore points. I can't do anything including get you information on my PC. I am running Windows 7 32 bit on a HP/Compaq DC 7600 C/PD 950. I am running Avast Anti-Virus Suite Pro. Regardless once on the desktop, I can not go anywhere. What the heck? Right now I am working on my laptop.
the computer I am concerned with is running Windows 7 with IE8, Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I am currently in Safe Mode with Networking without issue.The owner of the computer says that something happened earlier today while he was online that sounds like some false antivirus popup, but he's unsure. Here are the symptoms in normal mode. Every application, from moving through them to opening and closing them, runs exceptionally slow - one to three minutes to open, at least a minute to open internet pages. I noticed that, when in IE, as the pages are loading the IE page disappears and reappears. I am not very familiar with Windows 7 so I don't know if it is related. The computer seems to be getting slower as the day goes on. CPU usage is very high.So far, I have disabled many startup items that were unnecessary. I ran CCleaner and cleaned up. MBAM was run in both normal and safe mode, full scans, and found nothing. This is also posted in Viruses and Malware, but I'm unsure where it should live.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5986 Laptop. It started out with a problem with the speakers not working and the USB ports also didn't work when that happened. It now freezes up at the desktop when I power up. It will only run in Safe Mode. I have reset it back to factory defaults 3 times and nothing seems to work to fix this problem. I am able to run it in Safe Mode with Networking and managed to get Hijackthis downloaded. I have a log file ready if you want it.I've been working on this thing for 5 days now and am ready to round file it. Below is the system information for that computer. Tech Support[CODE]
I have a Dell Dimension with 5150 with 2 Gig of RAM installed running Win7 64-bit and has been running it a couple of years. All of a sudden now it allows one to login, but after a few seconds the screen goes black and the K/B and mouse stop responding. The power light on the monitor goes from green to amber and the PC keeps running.
If I boot the PC up and not login, it will run forever. I can remote in to the PC at this point and it works fine. The PC is mainly used by a user who remotes into if from a branch office, so that works out ok. This user comes into the office on Thursdays though and today we discovered the problem.
I can also boot the PC into safe mode and it will run forever. Only when I log in regularly at the PC does it "lock" up on me. Once that happens I have to power it off and turn it back on to get it to work again.
I checked to see if anything new was installed...nothing. I checked the latest updates installed, which was 09/20/12. I uninstalled one of the security updates to see if that had an effect...nada.
I've checked the Dell website for drivers. They of course do not show any drivers for the 5150 running Windows 7, but as I said before this PC and at least five others here at the office have been running just fine until this problem was noticed today.
every time i turn on my computer, I first get a message from AMI - "SATA 1:S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD". When I press F1 to continue, it progresses normally, until recently when i got "windows is loading files" then "startup repair" instead. Startup Repair searches, then finds a hard disk problem which it cant fix, and I can choose to reboot or try "advanced options"I've already tried safe mode, same thing happens.I've looked around, still not sure how to proceed - what caused this and can it be fixed without replacing my hardware?
I have a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop running Windows 7 Home Edition, 32bit version. For some reason I cannot get the laptop to run in "normal" mode. It runs in SAFE mode and I can surf the Internet and all, but it won't run in "normal" mode. When I try to run in "normal" mode the computer just hangs up, and won't connect to the Internet, when I click on ANY browser.
Well, my pc is my best friend, its doing its job correctly, until now. i was playing some games, then suddenly the computer just freeze, so i restarted it.
and then the Windows boot normally, but after boot(before the Welcome screen), the computer freezed, and sometimes BSoD appear, and i just keep restarting and its the same... tried System Restore and System Repair.
I own an HP G-62-347 Notebook, Windows 7 64 bit, Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows Firewall, no other real time AV, no other Firewalls, Windows Defender disabled as Microsoft instrucs for MSE, 3 GB Raam, 313 GB HDD, AMD Dual Core P-380 processor.My Laptop began freezing 8-10 minutes after bootup logon. No matter what I was doing, Media, Excell, Word, it would freeze up and hang. Sometimes CTL_ALT_DLT would unfreeze it, even before the task manager appeared, but it will take 3-4 minutes with an o[ague screen and the progress "circle" moving then unfreeze, sork 1-2 minutes, freeze, etc. Then all clicks on something to activate would result in loooong (long) delays, 15 to 45 seconds, then the new screen or window or peogram would open, sometimes frozen up.This did not happen in safe mode.I have (on suggestions) removed all things from my start up or programs that other's have suggested, Google Update files, and three or four others that others had issues with that I found on the net. I have also removed programs that I had installed around then.
I have also run, in Safe Mode, MSE, MS Safety Scanner, MS malicious file remover, ESET online Scanner, my laptop is clean.I have used mscong to disable all non-microsoft items to see if that helped. It did not. Same issues.I have used startup repair, and after scanning received a message that there was a problem, but that it could not fix it, did I want to send a report to Microsoft, I checked yes and it sent me to System Restore, ran it for about a week ago which was when I had downloaded some software, and the problem still existed, which sent me back to System Repair, ran it, same error message, reported again.I used a Repair Disk to get back on the laptop a coulple of times when needed, but ultimately, the problem surfaced still.I have used ReImage Plus to rebuild all my defective Windows Files and a lot of my 3rd party defective files. And, I also did a Win 7 repair install.I am pretty convinced something is being loaded somewhere, but can't find where or who or what.Am I on the right track? Have I missed something? Am I wrong? I do not really want to do a clean re-install of Windows 7, for if I do I am reformatting everything to clean any and everything.... sort of NUKE it... but would rather find the culprit (for education purposes). And, I dislike installing and updating and setting up everything again more than I hate "boiled okra!"Anyone and Everyone that has had to do with this or similar sounding issue, please reply. I have two weeks invested, and would like to "graduate" resolving this and getting the learning experience of WHY?
I am running a lite version of windows 7 32bit in which the dev took off remote desktop. I have looked everywhere but cant find a guide to reinstalling it.
I normally use remote desktop connection over my home network by simply typing the IP address assigned by the router to the computer I am trying to connect to.Now I am in a hotel in another city. I tried using the ip provided through ipconfig and whatsmyip.com, but I am unable to connect through remote desktop connection.
I'm really having a hard time configuring Remote Desktop Connection.I'm trying to set up a session between my laptop at work(Windows 7 Home Premium) and my PC at home(Windows 7 Ultimate). Now the settings are fine ('Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer' and 'Allow connections from computers running [CODE]
i would like to connect using RDC from my netbook (using windows 7 starter) to my desktop (using windows 7 professional) on the road.

I have been trying for a very long time to set up a Remote Desktop Connection to my work server, and am unable to set it up and connect. The network administrator gave me the IP address for the server and I have double checked that it is correct.He told me not to add anything else to the number when I set it up, but Windows Remote Desktop Connection setup wizard says it must have "https://" before the IP number so I put that in.I always get this error: Quote: An error occurred. Contact your workplace administrator for assistance. I thought it might be a Windows Firewall issue, so I went to check if it was allowed. Remote Desktop Connection Windows 7 how to add it because when I clicked to add another program, it was not listed as an option.I read this tutorial Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network and the first photo under "Option Two" in that post shows Advanced System Settings with a section on Remote Desktop.On my computer it only shows the "Remote Assistance" section and does not show "Remote Desktop" at all, and I'm not sure why.My ISP is AT&T. I have DSL with a wireless router. Is it possible that AT&T is blocking the port I need to use? I connect to the server at my office and know my credentials are good, but I don't even get to the point of being able to enter them when I try to set up the Remote Desktop Connection at home.
This morning I was working in eplorer to move some files, and Windows 7 asked me if I wanted to turn on filtering mode, and I confirmed.
Now when I use my remote desktop session from a windows xp machine that has always worked, I now only have control with my mouse, but no more keyboard input.
I do not know if the filtering mode has anything to do with it, but I cannot figure out why I cannot use my keyboard anymore in RDP. Funny thing is, it DOES work when I login to windows 7, I can type my password but when the desktop is there, I cannot use the keyboard anymore..
I am trying to setup a RDC with a static IP for my PC so I can access it from work. I started messing around with my laptop and PC trying to Remote Access them from one to another locally before doing set up my router to do port forwarding. I noticed that none of my laptops in my house can connect to my PC for Remote Access but I can connect to any laptop from my pc. I don't know what's going on. I've changed the IP on my PC 4 times and still nothing. Hard reset on my router, but nothing.
I cannot establish a remote desktop connection between two computers in my home LAN running Windows 7.I have two computers in my home network, VAIO and SCALEO. On VAIO I installed Windows 7. On SCALEO I installed both Windows XP and Windows 7 as dual boot configuration. The Windows 7 version I am using is the free downloadable evaluation installation of Windows 7 Enterprise. Both installations are activated.When I run Windows XP on SCALEO (and Windows 7 on VAIO), I can establish RDC between both computers, both ways, without any problems.When I run Windows 7 on SCALEO (hence, on both machines), establishing RDC fails on either machine with the following message:"Your credentials did not work. The credentials that were used to connect to ... (VAIO/SCALEO) did not work. Please enter new credentials."I have followed all instructions in the tutorial of this forum how to set up a computer for remote desktop connection. I can see both machines in their network folders. I successfully established a homegroup where both machines share data. I am able to share folders on both machines and map them as network drives. I am able to copy data between both machines.
I would like to setup a remote desktop connection between 2 computers in my LAN at home(both win7). Both comps are on the network and remote desktop is enabled for both of them. It doesn't want to connect (even with my firewalls turned off) and keeps saying: Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for of of these reasons: ... What am I doing wrong? Note that I did allow Remote Desktop on both computers' firewalls?
I am trying to use my remote desktop connection on my computer to another computer in my home I am using windows 7 but when I try to connect it looks for a password which I have not got where can I find a password
I'm having some trouble with remote desktop connection. I have successfully configured my desktop to remotely access it. But every time I start up remote desktop connection it prompts me to "Save File As ... *.xps". The application is driven by the mstsc.exe process, so it starts up when I start my remote session. If I try to save it, it immediately prompts me again for the same thing. Also my One Note Application starts up on my client pc (Laptop) and is also triggered by the RDP connection process.
Here is what I have already tried: - Tried to just end the Save As .. Application thru windows task manager, but since it is driven by the mstsc.exe, It also closes the remote session - I Also checked my remote desktop settings on my laptop to check and see if there are any programs listed to start up when I connect, but no progams are set!
Also every once in a while it actually starts up without the prompt and I actually experience a perfect and smooth remote session!

I can remote desktop from PC1 to PC2, however I cannot remote desktop from PC2 to PC1? I turned off Windows Firewall on PC1 and PC2 still couldn't remote desktop PC1. The ports are forwarded on both PCs.
I have a desktop and laptop with windows 7, I want to use RDC from either side using the internet connection. Both machines are connected with same router for internet connection.
For internet, desktop is connected through LAN cable and laptop through WiFi. Can I use RDC between them without wired connection and using router/internet?
