Not sure about your question, but perhaps you are running either Win7 Starter or Win7 Home Basic or Win7 Home Premium, these versions have the client side only of the remote desktop application. You will need Win7 Professional, Win7 Enterprise, or Win7 Ulltimate to actually host the remote desktop application. Hope this helps

It is stuck on the 3rd choice ( allow rdp clients with network level authentication - more secure). I want to choose the less secure method, but I can not. I am using windows 7. the rdp services are running. Any suggestions would be very helpfull. Thank you in advance.
