Every once in awhile when I'm running Remote Desktop ome of my keys will be re-mapped to special keys. For example in an area where I normally just type text, if I try to type the letter m, it is as if I had pressed the show desktop icon. Other keys get mapped to special combination key strokes too. It basically makes text entry impossible until I do a reboot. My conditions are that I'm running Vista Enterprise on the system that is running the remote desktop and I'm running XP on the system I'm sharing. I have done this same process for years running on all XP machines without ever seeing this. On this current system setup the problem occurs about every 2-3 days.
