Re: Black Screen with Remote Desktop...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



We are having the same problem with Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. About one minute after we establish a connection, the screen goes black. We can close and re-establish the connection for about another minute, but this would obviously drive anyone crazy. Yet, establishing a remote connection from a completely different computer to both the original host and the original client (now functioning as a host) both work fine. As you indicated, the MTU solution is a work-around versus a true resolution. We have several reservations about how this work-around setting will affect other opertions. It is also very difficult to determine what setting will be proper for our specific configuration. It is a technical change that a normal user should not have to resort to in order to fix the problem. This feature, under most normal circumstance (in our case, a very common configuration), should work flawlessly! Please let us know if you hear of a better fix and we will do the same.

Thanks,

Richard

I have two different Win 2000 Servers. With Machine #1, no one seems
to have a problem using remote desktop to access it. However with
machine #2, I have one WinXP Pro machine that when ANYONE tries to use
remote desktop all they get is a black screen!

I have not had any problem using 4 or 5 other WInXP machines trying to
access both Win2000 Servers.

I did a little googling, but nothing seems to apply.

This is strickly LAN traffic, there is NO VPN involved, and we have a
gigabit network, so there is no conjestion.

I have no problem pining both servers from all machines. I have tried
different screen resolutioins, all to no avail.

In this case, both the client and server machines are using Intel Pro
1000 GT NICs, with latest drivers....

HELP!
