Black screen after initial login

Post by Ricky B »

UltraVNC ran fine for months and then suddenly this problem. I can log in (and see the Windows XP log in screen) but after that, black screen only. The mouse is working on the remote machine.

I am running Win 7 on the home machine and XP SP3 on the remote machine.

VNC viewer 1.0.8.2.

I think that my problem started after the last Windows update.

I have no idea how to implement the following solution, which I have seen in another thread:
Special settings
kickrdp

[admin]
kickrdp=1


What file is it that needs to be edited to put in those strings?

Where is that file located?

Is that fix solely for the machine running XP SP3?
