Vorbis… vorbis… where have I heard that before? Isn’t that an audio codec or something? There was also something in there about vorbis.acm. When I looked in the event logs I could see mstsc.exe was the faulting application name. So there was something on my computer that was causing the Remote Desktop application to quit unceremoniously. He connected fine and looked at me like I was stupid. Rebooting didn’t fix anything so I asked a friend to attempt to connect to the same remote computer. I tried immediately connecting again (just to see if the error would go away) but I got the same result. Therefore, why does Microsoft need to rub it in my face by telling me what is already undeniably true?


Here’s the thing: it’s already obvious that the Remote Desktop connection stopped working because the client was completely locked up. Well that’s not entirely true the client actually crashed on connect.Īfter entering my credentials and clicking Connect, the remote computer would log me in but then would invariably flash and crash with this troublesome message: The Remote Desktop connection has stopped working. The other day I was trying to use the Microsoft Terminal Services Client (mstsc.exe) to remotely connect to a PC in Los Angeles, California but for some inexplicable reason I couldn’t connect.
