RDC not working on ONE computer

[JBruyet]

Hey all,

I'm trying to get at least one of two laptops to connect to the computer used by our GIS guy. He needs to do a presentation with some of his maps and I thought that using RDC would be a foolproof way of doing it. NOT! Both laptops (ThinkPads with a gig of RAM) get the following error when logging in to the remote computer:

Remote Desktop Connection

Fatal Error (Error Code:5)
This computer might be low on virtual memory.

Both laptops have plenty of space available for Virtual Memory. Any ideas on what the problem might be? MemTest says his memory is fine. Since the same error popped up on both laptops I'm thinking it's his computer but now I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially since the GM will be in the meeting.

Thanks,

Joe B

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the laptops can access OTHER computers through RDC just fine.

Thanks,
