Remote desktop problem. Anyone have a solution?

Question

I get a message window that pops up when I try to connect that says, "Remote Desktop Connection has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Send error report/ Don't send." Someone said to uninstall but I don't see anything on the add/remove programs for remote desktop. Anyone have a step by step fix? Oh ya, I'm running windows xp. Please help.
