MSTSC.exe works intermittently on a PC, freezes on open almost every time

Hello

I have a client PC that freezes up to 2 seconds after you connect to an application without flaw on a server terminal server. The seamless application displays, but cannot be controlled. Therefore, the RDP session will not close properly and must be completed with force. The session is just sitting there does not respond even when disconnected from the terminal server. 50 + other clients are working very well.

The PC is Windows XP Professional. We tried the RDP 6.0 upgrade and the upgrade from SP2 to SP3. After installing SP3, it seems to behave for a few days, but is back to freeze again. File Checker system and Chkdsk was executed. There is no error log events on the client or the server. The server is Windows Server 2008.

I don't mind reload if the PC had other issues too, but the only problem is with RDP and occasionally it actually works.

Thank you!

    Hello bwallace57, your "more detailed system", it seems you have a little suspect for malicious software extensions (GetSavin, MyPoints Score!, MyPoints Toolbar, entry-level consumer).

    You can verify the behavior of firefox in safe mode (safe mode are disable the extension)

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    also, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    et Check in the Windows Start menu > Control Panel > programs > uninstall a program, uninstall everything related to the above extensions

    and finally remove the User.js filein your firefox profile folder .

    (The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, otherwise, please note that some programs to create and write in the User.js file also).

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    Thank you!

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

    Hello

    It seems that there are a few system files that have trouble.  One of them being mstsc.exe, I wish you find spyware or infection by the virus first, before you try the next step.  Please see the sticky thread in the security forum.  MVP offers some good advice how to remove these problems.

    If everything is clean, we will try a repair installation to replace the problem files and also to ensure that other system files are good.

    The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data.  Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation.  Do not boot from the DVD.

    If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.

    • When the Setup program starts and the install now screen, click install now.
    • Note When you receive the important Get updates for installation message, click go online.
    • Click upgrade when the which type of installation you want? appears

    Please let us know if this solves the problem for you.

    OK problem solved.

    I ran the scan of the updated and all updates already installed.

    I checked the list of updates installed and already had KB2592687, KB2574819 installed.

    However, when I looked under installed updates, it showed KB2592687 and 3 others in English while I have a Dutch version of Windows.

    So I decided to uninstall the updates English 3 so I could reinstall it again.

    "Note that after uninstalling these 3, Remote Desktop already worked again.

    Apparently, these 3 uninstalling uninstalled a lot more, because after a reboot, there were 10 updates available instead of only 3 that I uninstalled). And after installing them and another restart there was even more updates available. Overall, it took three update sessions and restarts all up-to-date again.

    Although the list of installed updates again 3 updates in English, Remote Desktop works now. So obviously something has went wrong with one of the previous sessions of Windows Update.

  • My 2000 wireless optical mouse scroll wheel works intermittently-"mouse sigal is low."

    Original title: my 2000 optical wireless mouse scroll wheel works intermittently

    I recently bought a set of wireless with an optical mouse wireless 2000, office 100 wireless keyboard and a wireless desktop kit 3.1 receiver. After you have installed the drivers and the Intellitype/point than roulette software of the mouse does not work all the time, for example after clicking on my way in a 80 page PDF manual and long Web page that the wheel seems to not work in one direction, then the other way won't work. I tried new batteries, latest driver bouquet of microsoft site (intellipoint 8.01) moving to the receiver or away to "signal low mouse." Today, however, the mouse is 2-3 feet away from the receiver and it keeps popping up saying ' the mouse sigal is low you want to start the troubleshooter? Yes, I tried this and tried to move the USB without success. Can someone HELP please... Tired of drag and drop

    Same problem here, but I found a way to make this work (in fact there are two ways LOL)

    -Remove one of the batteries.  Believe it or not, the scroll wheel works perfectly when I remove one of the battery (any).  However, I do not know how long it will last since there isn't that one battery in operation.

    OR

    -Remove the lid of dough and remove the batteries.  Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw about 2 rounds (for some reason, I think that it is screwed in too tight).  Replace the batteries and you are or that you set.

    I can't guarantee that my methods will still work, but the fact is that it works for me since then.

  • Peripheral USB works intermittently on XP computer at startup. the Office of other problems, why?

    There are three 7 port usb hubs in a string, (all connected each), first of all, one from the computer, more a fourth with four ports connected to a Dell usb keyboard, which itself is connected to one of the hub 7 ports.

    Sometimes the lights mounted on all four centers, but it's a matter of holding your breath until he died which means the devices connected to them also does not work.

    Only one connected in the light of the computer is turned on, but even in this case, devices attached (like a usb keyboard), does not always work. They are all 2.0 but the computer is 1.0 I believe.

    On the desktop, they usually receive regular work but the desktop freezes, BSOD and endless error messages, especially during video playback or attempt to use the webcam in reports.

    Discovered today that you must enable USB in the bios. So far, who has worked, which means that there is no error reports or BSOD, nagging but the computer has not been extinguished at all since finding this out is the answer or is this something else?

    * There is another PS/2 keyboard and a mouse that is always attached now especially when you use a CD, (like XP). have to use the boot CD 'aid' like Acronis or having to access something in the bios, these devices are the only things that work like computer starts.* *.

    * Haven't had no idea where to put this, but the defalult was, "Performance and Maintenance", which I don't have on my computer so I just guess he's right.

    Thank you, but do not want to touch the registry.

    Never did not understand why he has often given it as a resolution, knowing he could totally botch a computer novice would have no idea how to solve this problem. His pan to the fire.

    Anyway thank you all for having tried to prevent him from thinking that the problem is resolved.

    It seems to enable USB in BIOS, it set as the hubs knitting every time and no. become as much error messages.

    Takes some time in the BIOS, but it is nowhere as long as it was and now the ps/2 keyboard and mouse connected helps again.

    Tried using usb ps2 adaptors but they were next useless.

    Too bad, if they had worked, probably would not need other HID devices as backup :/

  • Is there a way I can configure MSTSC.exe to connect to an RDP but then require a password to return or to terminate the connection?

    I have implemented a set of instances of the virtual machine on the certification exams.  They have limited internet and program access.  To achieve these machines, we use MSTSC.exe or RDP another access type.  The problem is that people can only minimize MSTSC and go to their House Office to access the internet or anything else really.  It is a major security breach for cheating.  I need a way to connect to my secured through RDP still test environment restrict access to their own desktop!  The challenge that I know, but everyone has been able to configure MSTSC or any other RDP program to require a password or minimize the output?  Other solutions are of course welcome, thank you.

I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939052 and follow-up directions to make sure volume existed on and Media Player off the coast and the two films (John Wayne!) that would not play, played without a hitch. I then put back them in to make sure I had a good fix and neither would play... In frustration, I've blown on and in the optical drive open, put the dvd back and they played every time. I got out another dozen DVD and tried and they all play perfectly. I guess that cleaning, it would have been my first effort: o) is there available optical drive cleaning discs, or is there an accepted method of cleaning the drive?
