SYMPTOMS
When you try to run Remote Desktop Web Connection (Msrdp.ocx), an access violation occurs, and Remote Desktop Web Connection does not respond. This symptom occurs if either of the following conditions is true:
 * You installed Remote Desktop Web Connection from the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM by using the Add or Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. You have then set the FilterQueueType registry value to 0x7.
 * You downloaded Remote Desktop Web Connection from the Windows Server 2003 Web site and set the FilterQueueType registry value to 0x7.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the network port name for the printer contains a null value. Even though a null value is valid for the network port name, Remote Desktop Web Connection does not correctly handle this condition.
