SelectObject to CompatibleDC Failed: The operation completed successfully

[Alex Pelts]

I was able to full-screen a dos prompt and vnc stopped working although 
did not disconnect. Then I blindly pressed alt-enter and vnc came back. 
So you can get out of the situation of accidentally pressing alt-enter. 
I did not try to disconnect and reconnect as I am working remotely now 
and could not afford to lose connection.

Regards,
Alex
