I click "Remote Desktop Connection" and nothing happens

All-

My problem is just as it says i the title. I can't seem to get my remote desktop on my Lenovo WD510 laptop to work AT ALL. By that I mean, it won't even give me a prompt to connect to another computer. Even if i go to search, type in mstsc.exe i can click, the loading icon appears, then seconds later it disappears. My even viewer log says:

Faulting application name: mstsc.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bce80

The first exception code is a memory exception usually the app tries to use protected memory and double faults. Are you also having BSOD's? DO other apps hang or fail to launch?

To test the memory;

Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Yes, I have in fact have been having issues with BSOD. Usually only when my laptop has been idle for a while. I will try a memtest.

So I ran memtest and all 8gb's of my memory is fine. I'm not really sure what else to do at this point. I was just using it a few days ago....
