Remote Desktop (RDP) Color Depth Setting on Windows 7
Posted by Admin in Tips n Tricks, Windows on October 14, 2009
Windows 7 comes with updgraded [ downgraded I might say 
] version of remote desktop (RDP) client.
I used to connect to remote machines using 256 colors, when I was using XP and Vista. But, couldn’t do the same on Windows 7 RDP client as it has 32 bit, 24 bit, 16 bit and 15 bit options only under color depth settings. However there’s a solution to this problem.
Create and save a new RDP session and open it with Notepad. Now find the line saying :
session bpp:i:16
or it may have these values (32, 24, 15)
Change it to :
session bpp:i:8
Save the file and try to connect to remote machine now using this saved session.
It worked for me, hopefully it will do for you as well
