While at work I use Windows Pro 7 but to connect to a Windows 2003 R2. Approximately everyday I receive an error code while trying to log back onto the terminal server. The message is, "Because of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again." When I press "OK", I get knocked off and am unable to log back onto the terminal server. I see the program in the background behind the pop-up, but can't get past the pop-up. I have to restart the terminal server in order to be able to regain access. This almost seems like a Windows Pro 7 issue because I am the only person who uses this version and the only person with this issue. Anyone able to help? I'm not an IT person, so I'll need it broken down in simpleton terms. Many thanks!

Hi, Regarding this error message, please refer to the following link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780927(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_16 Also, you may try the following. Find a windows XP machine. Copy onto a USB pen drive (or something like that: mstsc.exe mstscax.dll then create a subfolder called en-US and copy into it mstsc.exe.mui mstscax.dll.mui Now copy these files onto your windows 7 machine. It doesn't matter where, so long as the en-US folder you've created follows it. go into the properties of mstsc.exe and set the compatibility options to windows xpsp3 and run as administrator. But if you choose this solution, you will use the old version Remote Desktop. You may also refer to the following. 1. Logon to the Remote Desktop Services Session Host computer as an administrator 2. Start–Run gpedit.msc 3. In the left pane, under Computer Configuration, navigate to following: Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment 4. In the right pane, double-click on Set compression algorithm for RDP data 5. Select Enabled, and choose Balances memory and network bandwidth 6. Click OK to save the change

Thank you. I will attempt these and let you know the status.
