  The terse blank-workstation dept 
 The Question is:
 
If a terminal goes blank to just a mouse cursor, what command do I need to
 execute to bring back the common desktop?
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  The solution depends highly on what happened to cause the problem.
 
  You will want to be using a current version of DECwindows and of
  OpenVMS -- your OpenVMS version should be upgraded to V7.1-2 or
  V7.2-1 and ECO kits -- and you will want to apply available ECO
  kits for OpenVMS and for DECwindows.
 
  You will also want to review the FAQ section DECW13 for applicability,
  though that situation would not normally produce a "blank display" on
  the workstation monitor.
 
  Once at a current revision, you will want to review the DECwindows
  log files, to try to determine the cause of the failure.  Two of
  the more common causes involve incorrect process quotas and system
  parameter settings, and bugs that are known to lurk in older software
  revisions (and that have been subsequently fixed).
 
  If the above does not resolve this, you will want to contact the
  Compaq Customer Support Center directly.  Expect to be asked
  details of the system, of the product versions, of the installed
  ECO kits, and of the particular graphics controller(s) involved.
