  At home I have a Windows 7 64bit computer running two monitors as well as a 32" LCD TV. In my office I have a Windows XP 32bit computer with one monitor. The problem occurs when connecting to the Windows 7 computer with multiple displays from my office computer. Sometimes I will disable all the displays except one to reduce the scrolling I need to do. When I do this and disconnect, when I get home later in the day, the home computer is unresponsive. When I move the mouse i see it move across the screen on a black background but cannot get a logon screen. Ive tried pressing cntrl + alt + delete. When I don't disable the displays sometimes I can log on but one or more of my displays will still be shrouded and whenever I drag a window onto them I can't see it, however if I move only the mouse onto it it will be visible. When restarted all displays work perfectly. From this I've concluded that perhaps the curtain it puts up while remotely connected isn't being taken off properly on some of my displays. However when I don't shroud the desktop while connected and disconnect the error still occurs. Thank you all in advance for your help.
