Graphics Problem RunRev and Terminal Server (Newbie)

Thanks very much for that. After further testing, the problem is easily 
reproducible. If you write apps that run on Windows 2003 and run in Terminal 
server RDP sessions you will probably come across this. As you are a 
developer, and took the time to reply to a newbie I thought I would update 
you. I think it is worth being aware of what seems to have tripped me up.
Even if you create a standalone app with no graphics and run it on Windows 
2003 Terminal Server, the post execution "Made with runtime revolution" 
splash screen is corrupted if you are running your RDP session in anything 
greater than 256 colours.

I had to produce a truth table representing every potential option at the 
client and the server to confirm my suspicions, but no amount of coding from 
me is going to sort this, so I have submitted it as a bug report #1076.

I have a very simple stack if you want to see it for yourself, just ask if 
you are interested.

Just not sure if the bug really belongs to Runtime Revolution or MS at this 
stage :-)
