View Full Version : fullscreen on player 9 behaving awkward

I have a player 9 app running (.exe) on XP. The app is in fullscreen mode and has to run for several hours.
For some reason, when I remote in with landesk, the application, seems to get a fullscreen/readjust event or something, as the content all dissappears. It still shows the application's bg color filling the screen, meaning its still in fullscreen mode, but all the content is moved off screen.

Anyone ever experienced this with standalone rendered flash projects?

Fullscreen mode is probably using hardware acceleration, terminal services / remote desktop probably doesn't play well with that video mode and may disable it, which won't do your Flash application any good. That's my best guess.

The Microsoft Knowledge Base should be your next stop. If this is a documented problem there might be a workaround or at least a definitive explanation.

I believe that some Vista display drivers allow you to use remote desktop with hardware accelerated graphics. I just remember reading something about that. It might have been related to 3D though so no promises ;)
