RDP: Blank screen once connected

[ShaneWhite]

Hello,

I'm connecting to a via Remote Desktop to a Windows 2003 Small Business
server. The client connects just fine, but never presents me with the logon
box. I'm connecting from a XP SP3 box. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Shane White

You might check to see if the graphics video drivers are up to date on your
client. What video card do you have? There have been some issues with nVidia
drivers after SP3 was released.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did check and my video drivers are the most
recent. I get connected just fine, it's just that the logon box never pops
up. I have the IP address across the top in the yellow bar, then the typical
blue background, just not the logon box. Any other ideas? Thank you!

Can you have the SBS admins check to see if there is anything in the event
logs on the SBS. You might post to the microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
news group for help.
