I am seeing strange behavior on a couple of XP Professional SP2 computers running RealVNC Server v 4.0 in service mode. Both are brand new, factory fresh boxes with typical windows components installed, only 3rd party application running is Symantec AV Corporate Edition.
When I attempt to connect to either of these remote boxes I get the standard password authentication prompt, enter my credentials, then instead of displaying the remote computer's desktop I simply get a tiny windows taskbar in the middle of the screen with the remote computer's name, a minimize button and a close button - nothing else. I cannot see any portion of the remote screen and the window is not resizeable. If I attempt to switch to full-screen mode I get a black screen. Connection info shows "Desktop geometry 0x0x16" I followed all directions for adding an exception to the built in firewall, added 5900 both TCP & UDP just for good measure. On one of the machines I disabled the firewall entirely, still nothing. I disabled remote desktop, no change. Fast User Switching is disabled on both boxes. One of the computers is on a remote subnet with another XP box that is not on SP2 - I can run a VNC session with no problems to it so I know there are no issues with the hardware firewall blocking inbound/outbound connections to the site. The issue is clearly SP2 related but I'm stumped, anyone seen this before? I'm supposed to put several more of these SP2 boxes in the field but am reluctant to do so until I can get my VNC issues cleared up!
