Remote Desktop Black Screen

Hey guys,

Not sure if this belongs here or in Software.

Facts:

Last week, when I logged into my machine via RDP (on a different network), I had no problems.

Today, when I log into RPD, I get a black screen that never resolves to anything.

Over the weekend, I installed IIS on that machine.

I only ever saw a black screen once before and that went away the next time I tried to log in.


Anyway, I've spent time this morning on Google trying to figure out if there is a connection between installing IIS and RDP, but I haven't turned up anything besides to disable bitmap caching and to futz around with packet sizes. I'm a little wary of doing the latter, considering that RPD functioned just fine until IIS.
 
Well, I just tried logging in again (25th time or so this morning) and it works. Windows is a strange beast sometimes.
