I've recently begun to get annoying gridlines in my remote desktop sessions. It is occuring regularly during every session. Sometimes it will take the entire window and other times it will only occupy a sub-area. I'm using an HP 8510w laptop with Windows XP SP2 (Corporate policy so upgrade it not an option). Any ideas?

The gridlines you are seeing are because of a error in the update mechanism used - Basically rather than refreshing the entire screen, remote desktop updates any of these boxes that have changed.

I had a client with this issue. Download the latest version of Terminal Services Client and it should resolve it for you. (You can also grab it on Windows Update)

It can happen if one machine has had a update and the other hasn't but for my client, manually installing this solved his problems.
