I was able to full-screen a dos prompt and vnc stopped working although did not disconnect. Then I blindly pressed alt-enter and vnc came back. So you can get out of the situation of accidentally pressing alt-enter. I did not try to disconnect and reconnect as I am working remotely now and could not afford to lose connection.

Regards,
Alex

i dont use RDP or Fast-User switching and I was encountering the "SelectObject to CompatibleDC Failed: The operation completed successfully" message connecting to a vnc server. it was determined that someone alt-entered/fullscreened an ms-dos prompt and left it in that state on that particular vnc server. as soon as i took the dos prompt out of full screen i was able to connect to VNC remotely again.
Thought I would share.
