ever since RDM updated itself to the latest version, it crashes on startup. This is on an XP SP3 system.

Hi,
I saw this type of error if a config file exists in the same folder. Can you check if you find a file name remotedesktopmanager.config. Rename it to remotedesktopmanager.cfg and this should fix the problem. You can also just delete it, but you will loose your config (not your sessions)
Let me know if it's works.

I deleted the .cfg file and let RDM create a new one, which fixed the problem.
Excellent, I verified in Remote Desktop Manager, that exactly what the application does (delete this), but I don't know why it was not working on your system.
Anyway, I glad that it's now working. This bug appear when the .NET Framework 3.5 is installed. It's does not like the extension .config.
