Screen connect issues.
I have a wired USB keyboard on my desktop. Sometimes when I connect to a clients PC I am instantly not able to type on THEIR computer. I can type freely all day long on mine.

The same time this happens I cannot left click on any icon. When I single left click an icon it highlights it, if I double click it it opens up the icons properties. In order to open up the icon I have to left click, then right click and select open.

Sometimes when I disconnect from the computer the client is still unable to type. They must restart their computer.
Sticky keys are not on (either computer)
I do not have a key stuck on my keyboard. If I did I would have the typing problems on my computer.
The client does not have a key stuck on their keyboard. Because when you restart the computer it works fine.
I have also had this problem on my laptop. It does not happen all the time but very annoying when it does.

I too experience this. Usually killing and reconnecting SC solves it for me. I have never had the client unable to type after our support session ended.

I'll try to take notes next time and post them here.

I have run into this more often than I'd like. Same as what the OP described. The user on the remote machine exeriences the same thing I do. A reboot is required to fix.
This has happened on 2003 server and Windows XP. I can't recall it happening on Vista+.

I always use the Run shortcut: Windows Key + R
I had a feeling that had something to do with it?
I use linux on my workstation, however I have had this happen using Windows locally and remote.


When I get this to happen again hopefully I'll have the time to diagnose it a bit more.
