Hi all
There was a power failure at work over the weekend which forcefully turned off my PC and seems to have caused a problem.
Suddenly my Remote Desktop, which was working as normal on Friday, has stopped working. When I run it (either Start->Run->mstsc.exe or via Start menu) and then specify a server on the network and press Connect, I get the "Remote Desktop Connection has encountered a problem and needs to close" window. The Error Report it created is attached to this post, along with a couple of screenshots from the Error Report.
I've tried reinstalling RDC by dl'ing it from Microsoft (link in this post: http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/765657-reinstalling-remote-desktop-xp-professional.html), but I get the following error:
Can anyone please recommend a way that I can either repair the existing installation, or re-install it from scratch? It's critical that I get it up and running ASAP...
Thanks v much in advance.

Remote Desktop Connection cannot be installed because your operating system already has a built-in version.
I've tried to locate the RDC application in Add/Remove Programs (including in Add/Remove Windows Components) but can't find it. I also tried renaming mstsc.exe then running the installer again, but same result.
Can anyone please recommend a way that I can either repair the existing installation, or re-install it from scratch? It's critical that I get it up and running ASAP...
