Remote Desktop Session Shows Black Windows on the Machine
I need help with this one. It' been happening for a while now but I'm just tired of seeing it. Whenever I connect to different client machines via RDP from my mine machine (Windows Server 2003) and once I'm connected to my remote machine, when I open multiple windows on that machine I connect to, like multiple Windows Explorer windows, when I click on the box to select the different windows down at the bottom left corner on the task or menu bar, instead of seeing my window titles to select they are all just black. See below. DRIVES ME CRAZY cause I have to keep using trail and error and just click on each black section...hoping to get the window I want! I assume it must be a color depth setting on either the client machine or RDP settings but so far I'm not having any luck. Its just a big pain not knowing which window I'm selecting each time.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

because no one else provided any resolution for me.
though, part of this could be visualizing the aero features over a RDP session. this article refers to 2008 but it should work just the same on windows 7

RDC properties need to be 32 bit color depth on the server RDP-TCP properties AND on your client.
