Can't start server using Remote Desktop

Well, I have been at this for hours with no luck. After setting up DayZ multiple times per the DayZ e-mail, I have yet to actually successfully run one of the aram exe files. Using a batch file to start the server results in a quick command prompt open and close--it is completely blank. Adding "pause" to the batch file showed no errors--it shows the bat parameters, pause, then closes when I hit a key. Directly double clicking on any of the arma executables does nothing.

With the Task Manager open on Processes, when any of the above is tried, arma never shows up at all. I have an exact back-up of the ArmA2OA folder at home, and double-clicking on any of the arma executables does something. This leads me to believe it is an RDP issue. The server only has one account, Administrator, which is what I am using.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dawned on me to check the event viewer. It showed an app error. Google revealed that directx needed to be updated. Guess the error doesn't appear over RDP. After updating directx all is well. Lesson learned.
