Remote Desktop WindowXP - Professional

2 New Member
I'm trying to remote desktop from my machine to another machine, both are
Windows XP professionl SP3. It brings up the login screen, logs me in but it
only shows on the top line the machine name and the rest of the screen is blank. I waited for 5, 10 minutes but nothing happens. It works up until three weeks ago. Any input?? Appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ben

is this in a home or work location?

is this before or after entering login details? if after have you tried logging on with a different log in ID to confirm if profile or machine related

has the PC been rebooted?

how long have you tried leaving it as it could just be a slow login as happens to me occasionally

do any errors for mstsc / winlogon / userenv etc show up in the event logs

It's a work pc. It logs me in and when I log out for some reason it still shows me as logged in. Rebooted and the problem went away...

Thanks,

it probably didn't log you out cleanly so might have had some file locked, if it is working now it will probably be okay.

I installed Python2.2.3, which includes IDLE (Python GUI), Module Docs, Python (command line) and Python Manuals, on my new computer. I can open my Python code from IDLE (Python GUI), but I don't know how to run it. If you could please...

Hi, there is an application running on a remote desktop (under Citrix ICA, but the same problem applies for RDC or PC Anywhere). Now, I want to send keys to the remote application from a local app. I tried sending keys in VB with SendKeys, as well as using keybd_event API, but I'm not able to send any keys. It works very well for any local applications, but I can't pass the keys remotely. Is there any way to do it? Thanks! Etienne

Hi, I have developped a Windows applcation (in C#) that allows, among other things, users to view and control the desktop of a remote Windows XP Pro machine. I have actually simply embedded the Remote Desktop ActiveX control in my C# app and this works fine. However i have now a new requirement for my app: multiple users have to be able to view and control the same remote desktop simultaneously using my application. Big problem:...

To demonstrate my problem, I have a very simple VB Windows application. It has a text box that is used to display a counter, a button to reset the counter, and a timer that increments the counter every second. I remote desktop to the computer hosting this application and run the application. It starts up and displays the counter incrementing every second. If I disconnect the network cable between the two computers for 10 seconds and...

Hi all, This is a long shot, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask... I have some applications that work fine when I run them on my PC at work, but "fail to initialize (0x000005)" when I'm attached to that PC from home via Remote Desktop. These applications are all console apps written in native C++. The common thread (at this point I've done no serious investigation) seems to be that they all call into a C++/CLI library that, in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
