You are trying to run XBMC in a remote desktop session. This isn't officially supported, though it sometimes works with a settings change. Run XBMC on the PC (not via RDP) and go into System settings, System, Video output and enabled "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen". This *might* make XBMC work via RDP.
