Remote Desktop remaps keys!
I'm remoting into a Windows Vista (Ultimate) machine from an XP Professional one. For the most part, it works beautifully. But, every once in a while, the session remaps keystrokes. When it does, it stays that way until I reboot both the host and the client. For example, right now if I type the letter U in any context (command prompt, Word, Excel, Run, anything), the Ease of Access Center pops up. Some keystrokes minimize all windows, etc. I can't even shut down the host (Vista), because I can't type the word "shutdown" (it has a U in it!) (and I don't see any other way to shut down) Would appreciate any help! Thanks.

I have experienced this attempting to use Remote Desktop between XP Pro and Vista Home Premium. u,i,o,p,k,l and m keys get remapped to 4,5,6,*,4,3,2, and 1, respectivly. The only way to recover is to restore the Vista Machine. Anyone else?
