I'm running Windows 2000 Pro SP2. When I try to turn on Remote Desktop Sharing, it fails about 5 seconds after I turn it on with the following error message:

mnmsrvc.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.

The event log shows EventID: 7031; The NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing service terminated unexpectedly.

I have gone through the RDS wizard as the local administrator. I have tried re-installing the OS (over the old installation). This service just will not stay running.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Have you already searched Microsoft support with that mentioned Event ID? You might get a better explanation why you are getting that error, and possible fixes. If it can't be resolved for whatever reason, I would recommend going with a third partyRemote Desktop Application, that is Free, like Win-VNC if you want to control PC's/Workstations remotely. Good Luck!

Yes, I have searched Microsoft support. There is no mention of this error anywhere.

Using a third party app is not an acceptable option, as we have already standardized on NetMeeting.
