Black / Blank Screen on client, but remote control works

[Marco Gabriel]

the server machine is a windows xp professional sp1 with all current 
hotfixes (but no SP2), the client machine is the same.

settings on server (which works with absolutely none of the clients):
while connected
-> remove wallpaper -> not ticked
-> remove background pattern -> not ticked
-> disable user interface effects -> not ticked

settings on client (which works with other servers fine):
colour/encoding -> auto select
colour level low (64 colors) (tried the other settings as well)


thanks.
