NVIDIA Drivers Stops Remote Desktop working ??

[CBers]

I can't REMOTE DESKTOP to my ASRock ION 330 from my other Windows 7 PC, but I can REMOTE DESKTOP from my ASRock ION 330 to my other Windows 7 PC.

I've read about issues with Nvidia drivers and RDP not working, but this was mainly for Windows XP.

Just wondered if anyone else has the same problem, or could test to see if they can replicate.

TIA.

Hello Cbers,

I have a ASRock ION 330 as well, and I am able to do a Remote Desktop from my 64-bit Windows 7 RTM to the ASRock with both of them having the latest 191.07 NIVIDIA drivers installed on each system. I have no problems doing so.

Is it giving you any error messages?

I'm running 32-bit - I wonder if there is a difference ??

The error message I get 5 seconds after connecting is attached - there is no-one else connected to it.

It used to work, and I have the original drivers so may regress it later today.

What NVIDIA driver version are you currently using?

 

[CBers]

Currently running 15.51_nforce_ion_winvista_win7_32bit_whql driver (was 15.37 until today) and 191.07_desktop_win7_winvista_32bit_english_whql (was 190.39 until yesterday).

So it was working till yesterday? Nice! You think they would check that better since they have had problems in the past. I had this problem with XP but not so far with w7 using 190.62. You should be able to find the older drivers at nVidia's site.

 

[CBers]

No, it hasn't been working for a while, well before yesterday.

I just updated to the latest version yesterday.

Gonna try the original drivers for the ION later to see if that solves it.

What do you have installed on the ASRock server?


The ION NVIDIA 191.07 ION drivers below worked for me.


For Vista 32-bit:
NVIDIA DRIVERS 191.07 WHQL

For WHS or XP:
NVIDIA DRIVERS 191.07 WHQL

 

[CBers]

Same as me, but what nForce Drivers are you using - I am running 15.51.

 

[Brink]

The ASRock ION 330 doesn't use nForce "Product Type" video drivers, but the ION "Product Type" drivers instead.

NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search


UPDATE:
I see. You're talking about the NVIDIA All in 1 chipset drivers instead. I'm using the 15.45 version.

[CBers]

Got it from here.

Any suggestions ??

Or are you as stumped as me ??

 

[Brink]

I would give the 15.45 version a try from my post above. They work for me.

 

[CBers]

I'll give it a go and report back.

Thanks.

Installed NVIDIA All In 1 driver ver:15.45 drivers, but it still doesn't work !!

Umm. Have you already double checked all your settings in Windows 7 to allow for remote connections like they are in the Windows 7 that it works in to see if something there may not be right?

What message does it give you when your try to connect?

 

[CBers]

Checked the settings against an 2nd (and 3rd) computer and they are the same.

Message attached.

I think I've sussed it !!

After reading this Microsft KB relating to Windows 2008, I turned off auto-logon, and I can now connect without any problems !!

I had problems in the past with auto-login, and the only way I could get it to work, was to put control userpasswords2 into a batch (.bat) file and then run it as Administrator.

Gonna have to have a play around now to try and get a happy medium, as my other 3 computers running WIndows 7 all have auto-logon enabled, so I'm at a loss to explain this one.

 

[Brink]

I have always used the Remote Desktop Connection (C:\Windows\system32\mstsc.exe) shortcut in the Start Menu with it setup to log on automatically after clicking on Connect. I pinned it to the taskbar to make it easier to connect.

 

[CBers]

Yep, that's exactly what I'm using.

As a test, you might see if creating a new administrator account in Windows 7 with auto logon turned on for that account to see if you have any issues doing a RDC to the ASRock. Hopefully it is only an issue isolated to your old account.
