Remote Desktop Connection and Orange Logon Screen
I use remote desktop connection on my home network between two of my Vista
machines. The client is Vista Home Premium (I'll call this machine Laptop) and the server is Vista Ultimate (I'll call this machine Desktop). After I disconnect the remote desktop connection from the Desktop, the logon screen on the Desktop machine has an Orange background instead of the normal Blue background. This wouldn't bother me, except that while in this mode the display doesn't power down after 20 minutes even though I have my power plan set to "Turn off Display" after 20 minutes. If I do anything on the Desktop machine such as wiggle my mouse, the Blue background returns and the display powers off normally. Any hints on what I might try to solve this?

How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 That did it. The problem is now solved. I have an ASUS EN8600GT video card. I was running the V178.15 version of their driver. I tried both V175.19 from the Asus website and V178.24 from the Nvidia website. Neither driver has this problem. Thanks, Cliff
