mstsc.exe is the client software used to connect to remote computers. &nbsp;The problem I have is with the Terminal Services service itself. &nbsp;I am using Avira Antivir which I have set to update and run every morning and that hasn't found anything.

I am running Windows VIsta Ultimate 64bit with remote desktop.  A few weeks ago it worked fine but now when I try connecting it won't.  I checked services and terminal services was not running.  When I tried to start it I got an error saying "Windows could not start the Terminal Services service on Local Computer.  Error 193: 0xc1."  There was also an error in the event viewer that said "The Terminal Services service terminated with the following error: 
Terminal Services is not a valid Win32 application."  

Terminal Services is not a valid Win32 application.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
