Thanks. However, I am connecting using Terminal Server,
not Remote Desktop Connection. Maybe I am confusing
them. Remote Desktop is something activated through
Start/Programs/Accessories/Communications/Remote Desktop.
Terminal Server is a program that had to be installed via
diskettes made from the main machine and now there is a
Start/Programs/Terminal Server selection where I did the
Client Connection Manager and created the link. Are those
really the same thing? They appear rather different and
there is no option for display colors in the Client
Connection Manager.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
