We had the same issue with our Win2003 systems. We had to apply the following to the registry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors] "ActiveBorder"="212 208 200" "ActiveTitle"="10 36 106" "AppWorkSpace"="128 128 128" "Background"="58 110 165" "ButtonAlternateFace"="180 180 180" "ButtonDkShadow"="64 64 64" "ButtonFace"="212 208 200" "ButtonHilight"="255 255 255" "ButtonLight"="212 208 200" "ButtonShadow"="128 128 128" "ButtonText"="0 0 0" "GradientActiveTitle"="166 202 240" "GradientInactiveTitle"="192 192 192" "GrayText"="128 128 128" "Hilight"="10 36 106" "HilightText"="255 255 255" "HotTrackingColor"="0 0 255" "InactiveBorder"="212 208 200" "InactiveTitle"="128 128 128" "InactiveTitleText"="212 208 200" "InfoText"="0 0 0" "InfoWindow"="255 255 225" "Menu"="212 208 200" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="212 208 200" "TitleText"="255 255 255" "Window"="255 255 255" "WindowFrame"="0 0 0" "WindowText"="0 0 0" "MenuBar"="212 208 200" "MenuHilight"="0 0 128" Thanks, Thomas C.

My pagefile is fine too. I ran process explorer from sysinternals and noticed lsass tokens for each of my login attemps were hung. I didn't want to kill the handles though because Im not sure if that would crash the server. I'll reboot the servers tonight to see if it clears it up. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Durbin To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 5:07 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: Blank Desktop on login I had a server do this yesterday after it had been upgraded from XPe to PS 4.0. You could hit the control-F1 in the session, choose Task Manager, start a new task, and run explorer.exe, and the desktop appeared, but the real problem was that, for some reason, the pagefile settings were blank. Once I gave it valid pagefile settings and rebooted, all was well. JD From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott R Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 1:04 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Blank Desktop on login I was logged in to my published desktop, I logged out fine. I logged back in a few minutes later and the only thing that comes up is a black screen with the mouse cursor. I have to log in as someone else to reset the connection. This is happening on all 3 of my MFXP FR3 servers. RDP or ICA. I noticed that there are NO processes running for the account when it's on that blank desktop. Any idea's on what is causing this? My servers are all Win2k sp3. Thanks, Scott ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor: eg Innovations, Inc.
