I know why, Matthew, but I can't tell you exactly how to fix it.  You don't 
have enough free conventional memory in the window when Max comes up from 
remote. Apparently, there is more mem available when logging on locally.  You 
need to increase your free memory so that Max will have enough to run the MEX 
files. Also, since you're running NT, you might want to check out the 
NT-specific version of Max.  I'd guess that would completely eliminate the 
mem problem since Win32 programs are not restricted to (DOS) conventional 
memory.
