Only half of the login screen visible when RDP

A sbs 2003 server. The drive C had 0 bytes available space. When I tried a RDP Connection to the server I wasn't able login since only the half of the login window were visible (I presumme that it was the login screen). I noticed that I had some new Administrator profiles underd "Documents and setings". The current profile has only Recyle Bin on the Desktop. I made some free space by comprossing all files on drive C which are older than 365 days (Disk clean utility). After the compession had done hat I rebooted the server and the problem still exists. I don't have a full login window (when connecting via RDP) which would ask for credentials, only the top halw of it is visible.

Any ideas? Please note that I can still login localy. I will drive tomorrow to the site so I can start fixing it.

Thanks Hare

Actually, in the safe mode: shouldn't I login as a another account (member of administrators) and delete complitely all profiles which are referred as a administrator? By doing so, the next time I login as the administrator a new profile for build in administrator will be created from scratch. Right?

The situation now is pretty good. By creating a new admin account I can operate the server pretty normally. Actually I found procedures how to get rid of corrupted profile (administrator).

I'll never used this promising solution since I were in harry and found another way to solve the problem.

I will probably use this in future.
