Once in a while I will connect to Windows XP Pro via RDP, I will be logged on but the screen will just go to light blue - the color of the desktop background. No windows are shown, no response to mouse or keyboard including ctrl-alt-end. If another user logs in forcing me to log out then the next login is fine. This seems to happen randomly.

try reducing the colors to 16 bit or lower and turn off all the extras in the Remote Desktop connection settings.

I've seen it before too ... I think it has something to do with the screen saver. I usually just close the session with the x on the RDP header bar and then re-establish the connection -- that seems to fix it.
