The options key on the mac keyboard should map to the windows alt key, so the key command should be control-options-end. You should be able to enable 'Remote Access' on the windows XP machine (get properties on My Computer and enable it in the 'Remote' tab). You can send the Ctrl+Alt+Del command to a remote Windows computer to view the options for locking the computer, launching the task manager, signing off the current user profile etc. On a remote Mac, sending the Ctrl+Alt+Del command will open the Force Quit Applications window. To give the command, f rom the application menu, go to Actions - Ctrl+Alt+Del. Format usb drive to fat32 mac.

The Issue – When using Windows Remote Desktop client the remote screen turns black right after login and you have no control. The issue can affect workstations and servers, laptops or desktops and happens in Windows 7 through Windows 10 with most any version of Windows server. The apparent cause is Screen Caching and accessing a system with different display resolution or RDP window sizes.

The Solution(s) – Try each bullet below

  • Task Manager – While logged in and stuck on the black screen of death
    1. Press CTRL+ALT+END or on laptops CTRL+ALT+FN+END. This calls Task Manager and in most cases you'll immediately see the Desktop
    2. If only Task Manager but no Desktop appears try running Explorer from Task Manager: File > New Task > Explorer.exe
  • Display Resolution – Connect at same resolution as the remote host
    1. Click Show Options on main Remote Desktop screen
    2. Display tab > Display Configuration > adjust Display size (to the size of your remote hosts display)
  • Cache – Delete & disable the RDP bitmap cache:
    1. Delete the RDP Cache: C:Users%UserName%AppDataLocalMicrosoftTerminal Server ClientCache
    2. Disable Persistent Bitmap Caching on the Experience tab
  • RDP Service – Access the remote computers Computer Management or Services MMC and cycle the Remote Desktop Services service.
    1. Launch your Services MMC using an account with admin level access on the remote machine
    2. Right click Services at top left > choose Connect to Another Computer
    3. Right click Remote Desktop Services, choose Restart
