I've the same effect but no solution.

Perhaps after installing Adobe Shockwave plugins and reboot users
(even
in group 'Administrators') get a black screen with movable mouse
cursor.
Even new created users and with reomote desktop logons.

With Ctrl-Alt-Del the "maintenance"/"logon" screen is appearing.

Fortunately the local 'Administrator' was activated. This user gets
the
Windows desktop as usual after logon.

After deactivation of UAC other users get the usual desktop after
logon.

After reactivation of UAC the normal users get the black screen again.

Alternative to Sooner At solution is do the following:

Click on Start button - search - type in local Security policy
in results - double click on Local Policies - Secuirty Options - Interactive
logon: Do not display last user name. Click on enable and OK. Logout and
back in. If you want the CTRL + ALT + DELETE then enable Interactive logon:
Do not require CTRL + ALT + DEL . Log out and back in.
