Remote Desktop doesn't allow higher than 256 colors (have read KB solution)

Have you clicked on the display tab in the remote desktop client and changed
the colors there?

Hi,

Of course. I think I stated this in my question, but I realize I might
have been to subtle about it...

Thanks,

RemDesktop is really a little problem comparing to your clock.

What version of the client are you using ? You may want to upgrade to the
newest and try that.

Hi,

I got a little problem using Remote Desktop between two WindowsXP
machines. The issue is that when I log on the other computer I cannot
start programs requiring over 256-colors (Steinberg products in this
case). If I try to do so it shows a warning. I searched the web and found
an article in Microsoft's knowlegdebase
( http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=278502 ) describing how to fix this
issue, but the thing is that it didn't help. I have set group policies to
24-bit color on both PC's and yet it doesnt work. Of course I am trying to
connect with more than 256 colors.
Any help appreciated.
