We have a remote organization that connects to our
terminal services server (win 2000 server) to run a
specialized application. The terminal services users
experience what they call "too few colors". The
application looks very grainy on their end and is nearly
un-readable.

I found KB article 278502 to connect with greater color
resolution than 256 in XP, however this did not seem to
help. It seems that that KB article is for the client,
not the win 2000 server.

Can anyone offer me some suggestions?

Thank you,
John

Windows 2000 TS does not support more than 256 colors. You'll need
Windows 2003 or Citrix on top of W2K for this.

Vera,
Thanks for the news, even if it is bad news. I was
hoping that there was another way, but ok.

I appreciate your prompt reply!
John
