Hi Bob,
Thanks for sharing that, and I did not know RD does not use remote video
card, and glad to know that.
In any case, I suspect the problem is due to the VGA driver which is strange
enough. We downloaded and installed the latest driver directly from NVIDIA,
and although I can't be for sure, but it seems we installed the driver
previously.
In any case, we un-installed the driver and used the default VGA driver and
so far (two days has passed), no problem at all.
Hope this is the cause of the problem.
Interesting thing for Windows 2003 server, I understand mouse driver (such
as Logitech's) cannot be installed on the machine and don't know even VGA
driver has to use build-in.
In any case, thanks.
