Remote Desktop!!

MS communicator also allows desktop sharing and allow control

basically im on the remote machine on a standard user, they need help running a program that requires administrator privelidges. So when i go to run program as administrator it shows a black screen on my side and only at the local machine does it show the box to enter credentials which obviously is not suitable as they cannot have the administrator password

MS communicator is the program i am using..

is the user sharing the desktop or just the program? if its just the program this is normal as you are blocked from seeing other programs than the program that is shared.

some programs black out boxes, others fill with patterns like white with tan lines crossing the window that is hidden

Have you tried Restarting the session?

still sounds like a resolution issue to me, change client resolution and console display options and try.

Get the full computer name from the My computer/properties

Run>mstsc.exe /console

and log into their computer maybe with the Admin name pass. you might need to put in the Domain in the username example DN\<admin>

this will kick the current user out though, but you will have complete access to the machine.

Edit: I have not used this in Win7, but this is how I do it in XP
