I am trying to connect to my office computer via my Dell laptop (XP professional) using Remote Desktop. After starting VPN and then the remote desktop, I seem to connect to my office computer. I can see the gray bar at the top with the pushpin and my computer name. However, there is no logon dialog, and the remainder of the screen is solid blue. No desktop icons display. I took my laptop to the office and tried it there with success. At home, my husband has tried the same connection using his laptop. He can get to my office computer successfully. Any ideas what is wrong?4 people need an answerI do too

Similar situation. Using a Windows 7 Home Premium, I manage to establish a remote desktop connection to a XP Professional SP3.After login to the company domain (Active Directory) I get a blank blue screen (with no task bar).I manage to invoke the remote Task Manager with CTL-ALT-End.The system is mostly idle. (System Idle Process uses 99% of the CPU. wmiprsve.exe is the second task in the list.)How can I know what is blocking my system / is my login sequence blocked somewhere ?
