Well, once I got to my machine locally, logging in just results in a black
screen. After a hard reset, XP says that my video driver is to blame, but I
don't really think so, as the reset caused the "crash", but the state of the
machine was caused by RDP logging in to a user session that was in the
process of logging out.
