Getting a blank blue screen after remote logon to Server 2003 R2

I'm running Exchange 2003 on a MS Server 2003 R2 installation. Nothing new has been added in the past few days, but just today for some reason, whenever i or any other admins try to log in to the server remotely, we just get a blank blue screen. No taskbar, icons, etc.
I can log in to the machine locally, just not remotely. I've tried disconnecting all user sessions and i've tried going in to the administrative tools and terminal services manager and disconnecting and resetting the sessions, all to no avail.
This problem just came up today, however, i've been noticing the Server lagging quite a big when i've logged off for the past week or so - not sure if this is related, but thought i'd throw it out there just in case

alright, i was planning on doing a reboot tonight, but i didn't want to upset people during working hours so i wanted to check and see if there was anything else i could try during normal hours.
I'll give it a shot tonight before i leave and let you know.
Thanks

a reboot resolved the issue. Thanks
If a reboot solved the problem, next time I would try to stop and start the terminal services, which is used for remote desktop.
