Video lost / black on VM

I have a critical vm that the video has gone out on.

I have tried creating a new vm and using the vmdk from this vm, but still no luck.

I can unc browse to the vm's hard drive.

I can ping the vm

I cannot rdp the vm.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?

Environment specifics are below

ESX 4.0.0,261974

VC 4.0.0 208111

VM guest OS is XP

Could this be the infamous "Black Screen of Death" rearing it's ugly head?
