RDP / Terminal Service/ Remote desktop stops working after installing service pack 3 for XP

I have been fighting this issue for a while. It has been such a burden and a challenge to overcome that i thought i would post the question and answer so that someone else might not have as hard of a time or waste as much time trying to find a solution.

It is somehow related to nvidia video cards
The root of the problem is that the session image space is too small and it can't load any more drivers into it. The session image space is shared for the display driver drivers and printer drivers. rdpdd = remote desktop protocol display driver.

You can fix this bug by increasing the size of the session image space via a registry key. Add the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

"SessionImageSize"=dword:00000020

0x20 == 32 MB works on my system anyway."



Hope this helps someone
