Connecting via broadband from a dual monitor WinXP Prof PC (remote) to
another dual monitor XP Prof PC (host). Trying to run and launch Ulead 8.0
on the host. It runs fine when I do it locally. When I go to lauch it, I
get an error dialog box [15034;1:2] that says Cannot initialize application.
There are not enough colors in hte video display unit to play the video. I
set the remote to Broadband and True color, but when I go to monitor
settings on the host, it says "Medium (16-bit)" color quality and it doesn't
let me change it. Thus, I am not able to launch and run the app. Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim

You can configure RD to work to 24 bit color by going to the Display
tab in the Remote Desktop Connection client BEFORE you log on
remotely... You can't change it once you have logged on.

Changing my display settings in the remote options before connecting to the
host had no effect on the host's color display.
Thanks,
Jim

OK, then on the remote system, open up the Group Policy Editor
(gpedit.msc) and browse to ->

Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative
Templates -> Windows Components -> Terminal Services and find the
Limit Maximum Color Depth. Make sure that it is not configured or is
set to 24 bit color.

Note that if you are in a domain environment, domain group policy will
take preference over the local group policy.

Hi Jim,

Thank you for posting!

By default, Terminal Service/Remote Desktop Connection Service limits the
color depth to 16-bit color (High Color), considering the brandwidth
limitation. If you really want to use 24-bit color (True Color), we need
modify the registry key manually.

1. Click Start, point to Run
2. Type REGEDIT and press Enter
3. Locate the below registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
4. Change the vaule ColorDepth on the right pane from 0x3 to 0x4
5. Restart your computer and try again.

I hope that the above information is helpful.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for all the hlep, Jeffrey and Feng. I was successfully able to get
the host to true color following your suggestions (I did both). However, it
appears that all I have succeeded in doing is slowing the machine down.
Ulead still won't run, saying insufficient colors, etc. I give up and will
just not use that app remotely (which is a pain, because it's one of the
main ones I like to use remotely, since I hop on, spend 3 minutes on
something, and then it renders for 3-5 hours after I've signed off). Oh
well.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Thank you for telling us that you managed to change the color depth on the
remote computer to True Color.

I feel regret that you cannot use Ulead software eventually. Windows
emulates a display card with a basic function in remote session, so you
must feel bad performace when doing some work requires high perforamce
display card. For example, you cannot play or feel bad experience when
playing 3D games in remote session.

If you have any questions in the future, please don't hesitate to post in
the newsgroup.

Have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards,
