Windows 2003 – Login Screen is Black Except for Logo

So, I had a server that ran out of disk space on the OS partition.  Easy to fix, but when I rebooted the server, the screen was black except for the box that has the Windows logo.  I was still able to login, but I had to guess at field I was on when typing. Well, it seems this is a strange by-product of not being able to save your profile when logging off.

There is a somewhat simple solution, but it requires a working server.
