James, FUS is in use on the machine but I'm not sure if any profiles were in use at the time. Certainly the screen-save timeout had occurred because I recall this was presented to via VNC. As a rule the other users of the system don't log out and given it had only been turned on that morning to access hotmail I suspect at least 1 FUS session was established.
RD has never has been used on this PC. The only other point to make is this machine is (at 128M) quite memory stressed and thrashes the HDD mercilessly from time to time (one day I'll get some more RAM for it). Perhaps WinXP itself wasn't keeping its end of the bargain in a timely fashion? Regardless the viewer reacted quite badly to the (presumably) mixed signals coming from the server. I will keep monitoring the situation. Cheers, Frank. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Weatherall Sent: Friday, 10 September 2004 7:54 PM To: 'Frank Hamersley'; 'VNC List (E-mail)' Subject: RE: Strange viewer behaviour - black non resizable screen - WinXP SP2?
