Question : Remote desktop crashs when it trys to connect

Hello,
All was working well yesterday but today when I load remote desktop the initial screen comes up ok, but when I hit the connect button it comes up with an error message and needs to close (see attached pictures)  I have looked to see if any updates were installed yesterday and there were none.  If I copy the mstdc.exe and mstdcax.dll to another folder and run them it works fine, the only problem with this is that i want to run the "remote desktops" app which comes with Windows Server 2003 admin tools and this looks in the default location for mstdc.exe.
If i put a random IP address in the computer box, then it doesn't crash it just tells me it can't find the computer

Any help would be greatly appreciated

rsquibb, Have you installed any new applications on your PC around the time mstdc.exe started crashing, did you update/install any DirectX updates
