Make sure that the Terminal Services service is set to "Automatic" startup.
Done. Uninstalled & re-installed the MSI & the client. Still no dice. Nothing logged in Event Viewer either.

If this continues, I will have to back out SP1 as I need TSC.

Since I use TS on a 2000 "Server" that I normally use as a workstation, I notice that quite a few packages won't work with either the client or the server installed. Kind of sad. You'd think they would test that some of thing...

But then I went back to VNC, which works just fine.

The crazy thing is that it's nothing more than a VNC/pcAnywhere sort of product that shouldn't care what the underlying OS is.

I'd rather go the VNC route myself, but the corporate standard is MS on both the desktop & the server wherever possible (with the exception of the AS/400s).

BTW, the only diff I noticed within TSC is the Available Servers list is empty w/o SP1 but shows my network (um, WORKGROUP :lol: ) in SP1.

PCAnywhere and VNC both manipulate the desktop that's actually in front of the user. TS creates some virtual desktops, and doesn't disturb what's happening on the console. I think that there's quite a bit of Windows software that doesn't work when a computer has more than one possible "desktop" on which to work.
