Black Screen

[John_Lloyd/VAWC/]

Opened the VNC viewer from my pc, tried ctrl-alt-del and it's works locally
on my desktop (goes to the logoff box).
It's funny cause it asks for a password, then connects but all I get is a
black screen.
When I have terminal services connected I see the Server desktop (via
terminal services).
If I then initiate a VNC session with the Server I get a second Server
desktop (via VNC).
Thanks for responding...................John

Is the black screen because of a screen saver? (what happens if you use the

menu to send ctrl-alt-del?)
When you have Terminal Services connected do you see the desktop for the
Terminal, or the console?

W2K server, W2K client. Terminal services (remote admin) works great.
If I connect via VNC I get a black screen.
If I connect via VNC with Terminal services already connected, it works
perfect.
Anyone got any ideas?
First post here so have mercy on me.

Nothing happens..........Same black screen with a dead
curser..............when I move my curser into the black screen it becomes
a little dot............nothing happens on the Server desktop with either
operation.
Thanks again.....................John

I meant you to try the "Send Ctrl-Alt-Del" menu option from the menu you
get
when you right click the VNC viewer window title.
