FROM USER: Any work I have open in an existing session is being lost. I typically log in and then will perform some work. When I get home I typically reconnect and then continue my work. I was able to log in after the error. But if I had disconnected and tried to re-login, it would give me the error and bring up a new session. I would lose any open files I had.

Then they can log back in at home. No need to keep the session active IMO. It seems poor practice to leave https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/155844-error-connecting-to-existing-session-in-rdp unsaved work on a RDP session anyway.

The operation completed successfully.I'm sure I'm connecting to the console and it works for connecting to other 2003 servers in my domain, but not to thisone. Any idea on how to get around this?(I'm currently connecting to the server with VNC, but I would rather fix the RDP problem.)

Now I downloaded "UltraVNC-1.0-Setup.exe" from www.uvnc.com, uninstalled the RC203 (reboot) and installed the 1.0 version (reboot). Note: I did not uninstall the hook driver seperately I simply used the Uninstall option of UVNC with following reboot. There is/was no additional Remove option for the hook driver. New version of Ultra VNC is working fine but unfortunately now Remote Desktop fails permanently. On the RD session I get the Login prompt. I enter name and password. Screen becomes dark-grey and it takes much longer as usual before something happenes. What will happen then is that the screen is still dark gray but I get an error message: Logon Connection Failed Error connecting to existing session for
