*First off Thanks if you can help* I have searched all day on most search enging for a problem like mine. Any help would be great. I have a dedicated server with Windows 2003 Standard /SP1. My problem is I log in via Remote with XP as the client fine. I start the programs (used to host games) on the server and then close out of my remote and log into the game server via my game. After 30 sec the server closes the programs I just opened. This only happens whern I close my remote dosktop down. If I leave it open Im fine? Anyone know where Im going wrong. I had a virtual dedicated server and had no problems closing down remote

Sounds like a terminal services setting via Group Policy. Turn off the end session options. "Milk was a bad choice!"

Forgot to add this could also be in the RDP connection properties in Terminal Services Configuration snap in. "Milk was a bad choice!"

I am very new to Server 2003. Is it possiblem you explain how to set this up so I may host these 2 applications from the server? Thanks in advance

Another thing you might want to try is fire daemon. http://www.firedaemon.com/ It will allow you to run your game as a service. I've used it on several game servers with great results.
