SelectObject to CompatibleDC failed: The operation completed successfully. (0)

[James Weatherall]

Guys,

Is Alan's prognosis correct, in suggesting that the prior use of Remote
Desktop or Fast User Switching has caused that behaviour?

If so then we'll look into providing a more useful error response in this
situation, until full XP compatibility is complete.

Cheers,
