"Error connecting to existing session...."?
Posted by (PeteCresswell) on December 17th, 2007


Anybody seen this one:

"Error connecting to existing session for {UserName} ID(0).
A device attached to the system is not functioning."

Had to pull the plug and re-connect to reboot.

Are you using a ATi Radeon display adapter. Is this a Dell system?

Update to the latest driver. If the issue persists, try disabling the
display adaptor and use the standard VGA to check if the issue happens with
standard VGA also.

Per gsjutla:
Yes on the adapter. No on the system - it's a CompaQ.... but
who's to say it isn't the same chipset....

Thanks. It's only happened once in over a year - but I'll DL the
latest drive ASAP.
