When I remote into my computer (XP x64) with the /span option, color is
forced to 8 bit. I recently upgraded from 32bit XP, and never had this problem. I found this article, but it is specific to 32bit Server 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942610 I have all the latest updates installed from Microsoft Update site. After many hours of searching, I'm ready to admit defeat. Thanks for any help. |

Correction, that link ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942610 ) is exactly
what I needed. Click the link at the top of the page and you will be emailed a link to a hotfix. When you unzip the hotfix (need password from email) the resulting executable has XP in the name and installs fine...best of all it solved the problem!

Yes, fixes for Server 2k3 generally work on XP x64 as well. They're the same
code base. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Michael" <Michael@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8581B566-D7CF-4273-97BC-2EAF4703C0D0@microsoft.com... > Correction, that link ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942610 ) is > exactly > what I needed.

Then we're out of luck, I"m afraid. Most of the time, MS makes updates for
Server 2k3 x64 able to install on XP x64. When they don't however, there's not much we can do that wouldn't put us in a totally unsupported position at best. The one recourse you have is to open a support incident with MS. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "alex" <alex@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BC263B44-2CA4-4FB9-8D3B-DDE65D8C60D5@microsoft.com... > Charlie, > > This patch won't install on XP Pro 64bit. > > "Charlie Russel - MVP" wrote: > >> Yes, fixes for Server 2k3 generally work on XP x64 as well.
