It is the Windows XP SP2 version...you must already have SP2 installed.
You can save the file as an .RDP file and open the .rdp file with notepad
and add a Connect to Console value in the rdp file setting it to 1. See
this page for more info...

Here is how to edit an .rdp file with the GUI but there is no choice to add
the /console to the connection. You have to do this manually via notepad.

I did now, and also tried installing it: "Remote desktop connection cannot

I'm at a loss... Any advice?

That's interesting. Are you sure that's how you had it before? I can't
enter /console in my RDP client. I have to do the mstsc /c onsole to get
it. I remember bitching that the console setting isn't a setting in the
.rdp file; it'd be great if it is and what you're doing actually worked!
When you figure it out, let me know. :P
