Explorer/runas/remote session problem

[Guest Rich Raffenetti]

I regularly RDP via VPN from my home XP Pro to my office XP Pro.

 

I use VB6 on my office PC and sometimes need to use it with my

administrative account so I use RunAs via the right-click method.

 

When I do RunAs of VB6, my explorer locks up with some broken graphics on

the start bar. (I place the start bar on the left side of the display.)

 

I get out of this by running task manager on the remote system with

ctrl-alt-end, terminating explorer, and starting explorer again with the run

option on the task manager.

 

Up to this time, I had found that after a reboot, the problem did not come

back right away. That is, the runas functioned as expected. Tonight I ran

Windows Update, applied 9 patches, and did a reboot. Right after the reboot

I attempted a RunAs of VB6 and the same failure appeared.

 

I have also found that when I go to the office and use RunAs there, the

problem does not appear. Hence, there seems to be some involvement with the

RDP session.

 

The graphics on both of the involved systems is quite different also. At

home I have 1650 x 1050 and at work I have two screens showing 1024 x 768

and 1280 x 1024.

 

Anyone have this problem or know of a solution for this issue?
