I recently upgraded my machine from Vista Home to Windows 7 Home and since then have been having issues connecting to any machines on my network via remote desktop (MSTSC)

connection. Prior to the upgrade,  there were no issues and I could connect just fine.

I am able to browse the other machines via windows explorer and can ping them as well, so it doesn't seem to be a connection issue. The machines that I am attempting to remote into are windows server 2003 and 2008.

Essentially what happens is once I open the remote desktop client, enter the name of the machine, then hit connect, the client says "configuring remote session" and hang there forever. The window for the remote connection freezes, and I have to kill it with the task manager.

Fix: Options of remote console -> Local Resources -> Remote Audio -> Settings -> Remote audio playback = Do Not Play
