When connecting to VTScada through a remote desktop, you may find that the colors used for each pen in the legend appear to be the same. In particular, with remote desktop sessions accessing VTScada on a Windows Server 2008™ system, colors in the HDV may appear incorrectly, as the Windows Remote Desktop Session host, in its default setting, will limit remote desktop sessions to 16-bit color.
You can remedy this as follows:
- From the Windows Start button, click to open "Administrative Tools".
- Click to open, "Remote Desktop Services".
- Click to open, "Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration".
- Under the list of connections, right-click on the connection and select Properties from the menu that opens.
- Open the Client Settings tab of the properties dialog.
- Clear the Limit Maximum Color Depth check box.
- Click OK to save your work and close the dialog.
If a remote session desktop is running, both it and any running VTScada program on the remote machine, must be restarted before the change will go into effect.
