I'm currently running Windows Server 2003 and using the Terminal
Server
Advanced Client for web based access. How can I force the web based
users
to connect with a 24-bit color depth? This is not working, any
ideas???

I am running CODEBASE="msrdp.cab#version=5,2,3790,1830"

and have added the follwoing to the code:

'Device redirection options
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = TRUE
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = TRUE
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPorts = TRUE
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectSmartCards = FALSE
MsRdpClient.ColorDepth = 24
 
Re: Force 24 bit color depth???

What color depth is configured on the terminal server and in Group Policies?
These have higher priorities than client configurations. This means if TS
Configuration says 16 bit color depth, you cannot force 24 bit through
client configuration.

I have under tscc.msc forced 24 bit with the selctor box. Any other
ideas?

I figured it out. There was a bad line in my code that was killing
the forced 24 bit action.

Good to know, because I didn't have any good idea what could be the error.
