    Remote desktop connection runs in safe mode, but freezes otherwise


    Hi everyone. I have a Dell XPS studio desktop that runs Windows 7 Home and I have been trying to connect to my work computer, which runs Windows 7 Professional. I connect via the internet through Remote Desktop Web Connection on Windows Small Business Server 2003. I can connect to my computer fine, but usually after only a few seconds of clicking on files, it freezes on me, causing IE to freeze.

    When I do this in safe mode, it does not freeze, so that tells me there must be a conflict on my system. What is the best way in figuring this out? I have a suspicion that it's something to do with my ATI graphics driver. Any help is appreciated!
