Win 7 RC Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress
I have just installed Windows RC, install Cisico VPNClient trying to use remote desktop to connect to my office. The VPN Tunnel is alright, but the remote desktop connection showed "Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress".Any solution for this.Thanks

What happens if you reboot and try again?

It is the same. I even try to reinstall the Windows 7 and install VPN Client bare, it gave the same message.

Check Terminal Services is enabled (manual at least, perhaps automatic preferred) on the target/host machine. --- I had a problem connecting to a WinXP machine from Win7, though Win7 to WinXP was fine. Lots of hair-pulling and frustration and no obvious answers - and some nasty work-arounds (on other posts). Finally today noticed something when browsing services on XP Machine - (Control Panel, Administrative Tool, Services) Under Terminal Services: "Allows multiple users to be connected interactively to a machine as well as the display of desktops and applications to remote computers. The underpinning of Remote Desktop (including RD for Administrators), Fast User Switching, Remote Assistance, and Terminal Server." Ho hum. And it was disabled. Set it to automatic, and everything is now fine.Andrew Mather
