Remote Desktop

I am useing XP pro. Since installing dotnet 3.5 and SP3 I get a error
message when I try to connect to my office useing remote desktop. The e/m is

Terminal Services Active X control (mstscax.dll)
does not match the version of the client shell.

Can you tell me what I have to do or update to get my Remote desktop to work
again.

Thanks Ken

The Remote desktop client indeed could change in SP3, to match
Vista and server 2008.
You probably can ask your IT at work to give you the
correct version of remote desktop client (mstsc.exe).
You can have several versions of mstsc.exe side by side.

Try this...

Run the Regsvr32.exe program to reregister the Mstscax.dll file. To do
this, click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32
\mstscax.dll, and then click OK.
