Black/blank Screen when connected remotely

Zenworks 10.3.3
I've only come across one other post on this forum concerning this issue. Sometimes when we're remotely connecting to an XP workstation all that appears is a black/blank screen. The management and remote machines are MS Win XP Pro SP3, pretty well up to date with security patches and all. On the remote computer, the screen saver at logon is disabled, desktop screen saver is disabled, the NIC is allowed to bring the device out of standby, standby is enabled and hibernation is disabled. If you send it the reboot command, more often then not, you can catch it back at the login screen and go about your business.
Might Zen 11sp1 fix this?

Is anyone at the Device to see what state it is in when this happens?

  • Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter.  I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly.  Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA.  Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

  • Doesnt boot Black/Blank screen when a cd-rom is connected - MSI x58 Platinum

    i7 920
    MSI x58 Platinum *latest bios, updated it after experiencing this issue*
    Corsair 3x2gb TR3X6G1600C8
    OCZ OCZ700MXSP 700W SLI/CrossFire Active PFC
    geforce 280gtx
    Windows 7 64bit
    This is a build working perfectly for over a year.. well one day my mom turned off the computer when I got home it wouldn't boot I disconnected/reseated everything and was able to figure out if I didn't have my dvd drive hooked up it will boot perfectly fine. I should note that the drive shows up fine in the bios and that with a pata hard drive it will load windows fine.
    I've tried 2 pata drives and 1 sata drive all working/tested in other machines .. and it stops at the same exact spot every time right after the bios and before the Windows logo would normally pop up it will just sit on a black/blank screen forever. I have never heard of a issue like this where it wasnt the ide channel going bad or the drive itself but since a harddrive on the ide channel works i assume its good.
    I didnt know if i should post this in the windows 7 64bit forum or this but im leaning towards motherboard as the issue because it still freezes at same exact spot even with no hard drives connected , so I couldnt boot anything from the dvd-drive. I'm also thinking its the mobo because i had it repaired a year ago, see my old thread here
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127312.msg958264#msg958264
    Any idea's or suggestion please let me know.

    A PSU acting up can cause some strange things to happen. Have you confirmed that the DVD drive is working correctly?

  • I cannot enlarge photos on Facebook, I only get a BLACK, BLANK screen when I click on them-someone suggested it might be "Screen Resolution Setting"? I've already uploaded new firefox version. Please help!

    I am not able to ENLARGE photos on Facebook, this means photos that friends post on News Feed & photos that I post in my FB photo albums. I only get a BLANK, BLACK screen when I click on individual photos. A friend suggested that I upload the New Firefox, and I did this today, but it did not resolve problem. Friend also suggested that it could be "Screen Resolution Setting"?? OR "Data Rate" too slow?? I do not know how to check these features? Please help! If it could be something else, please let me know. Thank you for your time & help!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

    hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Windows XP see blank screen when remote desktop to Windows 7 with fast user switching disabled

    All computers are in workgroup environment, no AD.
    Windows 7 pro are configured with fast user switching mode disabled so that only one login session can run at a time. When a Windows 7 machine remote desktop to another Windows 7 machine, the remote desktop 'server' will give 30 seconds count-down for the
    console logged in user to accept remote connection, or when timeout expires it kicks out the console logged in user. This is completely ok.
    This become a problem when a Windows XP rd client try to remote desktop to these Windows 7 machines, Windows XP see a blank screen if the remote Windows 7 machine has a user logged in, as it is waiting for the user to log off first. This is not desirable
    as our administrators want the console session to be logged out automatically if they (administrators) want to remote desktop in.
    Is this a configuration problem? Is this a OS design, can't be changed?
    Valuable skills are not learned, learned skills aren't valuable.

    Hi,
    As I know, for RDP session in Windows 7, you don't need to configure the fast user switch option disabled. Windows 7 doesn’t support multiple Remote Desktop sessions by design, that means only one RDP session at a time.
    I remote into my Windows 7 machine (which has a user logged in) from my XP machine, all work fine, the user logged in Windows 7 machine is automatically "kicked off".
    May I ask a question? Does this issue happen in all XP machines? If you leave Windows 7 machine started and no user logged in, the RDP session in Windows XP established quickly?
    I would suggest you keep latest drivers graphic card and latest updates paches for both Windows XP (Windows XP has come to its end of the lifecycle)and Windows 7.

  • Black blank screen appears when unlocking iOS screen

    Hi!
    I am developing and Adobe Air application for iOS. I have the following issue. If I have my app open and lock my iPad and then unlock my device, I see a black blank screen instead of my application contents. In order to make the app work again, I need to press the home button, and press the app icon again. Then the application appears fine from the point I had left it before locking the device.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I use Adobe Air for iOS 3.8

  • Big Black Blank Screen Sharing on Snow Leopard

    I have upgraded all three systems in the house to Snow Leopard (MBP, MP, iMac). I have always been able to use screen sharing between them. I've checked the System Preferences for Screen Sharing.
    I can connect (clicking "Share Screen" from Finder), but I get a black/blank screen. Moving the mouse in the screen does not move it on the other system. Doesn't look like any possibility of sharing screens...
    Any idea what to do to fix this? When I next travel this is going to be a really big deal! Thoughts?

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • 13" MBP died. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights are visible. Any ideas??

    My friends MBP died the other night.  He put it on sleep mode one night and the following morning, and when he went to turn it on the following morning it would't.  Only a black blank screen and blinking lights.  There is no sound or anything.  BTW it is a mid-2010 MBP, no added hardware, everything stock. It wasn't custom configured, and I believe he upgraded to Lion earlier this year.  I read somewhere that depending how quickly the lights are blinking could indicate a specific problem.  Is this true? He is planning on taking it an Apple store, but figured we would try here first since it is a bit of a drive, and the warranty has expired. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  We are just trying to get an idea of what we are dealing with. Thank you!

    Looks like hardware problem.
    Apple can fix it. Take it to Apple as soon as possible.

  • BLACK/BLANK Screen K9A Platinum

    i built my computer a few months ago, never had any problems with it until recently. I ordered a Noctua NH-U12F heat sink to instll onto my cpu, after i installed the heat sink my computer won't work. whenever i turn on my computer i just get a blank screen, nothing works now. i don't know what to do. i have not been able to get into windows or bios, a black/blank screen appears. here are my specs.
    K9A platinum
    amd x2 2.4ghz
    diamond max 1950XTX
    4gb pc6400 corsair xms2

    antec p180 case
    if anyone has any suggestions or solutions please respond.
    thanks

    Yes and be careful when you do that. You probably pulled it out of the socket when you removed the old heatsink. So, some pins may be bent or even broken off. When you remove heatsink, move it a bit over the cpu - don't lift it, just turn it gently, move it gently up and down utnil you feel that the thermal gel does not hold the cpu anymore.
    Also, be sure to clean the cpu top (old greace should be removed) and be sure to apply new thermal greace (not too much - the drop should have the size of a pin's head).

  • IPod Classic's screen when connecting to ITunes

    With my IPod Classic 80GB with displying time on the menu, when connecting(Syncing) to ITunes, where time was displyed on the top grey line like 8:20PM for example, it turns into a meaningless letter 'P'.
    If the time is like 8:20AM, no such letter will appear on this grey line.
    Is this for everyone's ipod classics? Or only mines stuffed.
    No fault on its functions, but curious if this is just a stuff up by Apple.
    Your yes/no is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm seeing the same here, too. Letter "P" on top of the screen when connected to iTunes.
    I will see if turning off the clock in the display or switching to 24hour time works. Hadn't noticed if connected in the AM makes a difference since I usually synch up at night in the PM.
    The iPod seems to operate just fine otherwise.
