OMG!!  WTF!!!  RDP/MSTSC is 75% of my life… I was like, what do I do now???  Well, I did what any good IS person would do is…
1) reboot = failed
2) try and find the uninstall for RDP client = failed
3) uninstall SP3 = failed (at least for my workstation)

I did the next best thing… repair XP… well that made it worse! My network adapter got completely hosed…………GRRRRRRR

So, reluctantly, I backed up my workstation and RELOADED it :(

Here I am typing away on my newly reloaded workstation…

THANKS MICROSOFT!!!
