The O/S is probably the culprit. Rebooting refreshes the resources.Get up to 128 MB RAM and optimize computers. If you don't want to have to deal with such as this go to Windows 2000.

O/S was not the problem and we had tried win2000 with the same results, 128mb ram is the minimum that we use.

i would check settings in the remote control software. is it pcanywhere or some such? sounds like you have it set to terminate the host program at the end of a session and you want the 'terminate the session and for a call again' option enabled. give more details about the software and maybe we can help more specifically.

If it is pcanywhere, set it to reboot the host on disconnect, the host will reboot immediately upon disconnect and be again ready to accept if set to do so. Makes it so much easier since updates are done often requiring the reboot anyway.
