Or, from http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/its/remote/faq.htm:
Q. I get an error message “You do not have the proper encryption level to access this Session”
A. Your connection settings do not have encryption on login enabled. Replace your desktop icon with a new copy (right-click and save it to your desktop). If you have set up your connection manually, ensure the encryption level is set to "128-bit Login Only"

Answer 2

Ensure that your encryption is set to 128bit. If you set it to 128-bit login only will give the same error
