I get the same issues when I pop out of full screen mode in Citrix. Quicktime fixes the problem, but I doubt it's the problem. It’s not a bug in Quicktime, but probably a bug in the OS.

It's a life saver. I'm still confused on how can one application absolutely kills a Window Server feature. Sounds like really dirty coding to me. Thanks for this post. It’s a life saver.

This fixed the issue for me, and it has to be the 10th time I faced it without a resolution. Thanks for posting this.
