Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004Softdent and terminal services
I recently performed a version "upgrade" from 9.8 to 10.0.4. Everything seems to work fine (though-be-it slower) in the main office. However, in their satellite office (connected via DSL - VPN), the cients are having problems. The satellite office clients were using Terminal Services under version 9.8, and I hadn't heard any complaints. Under version 10, the TS clients appear to be getting a corrupted video stream through TS - (especially under the scheduler) the screen will get large black boxes. The TS session works fine until opening Softdent. And, sometimes the session works fine, but usually the black boxes begin to appear immediately upon opening Softdent's scheduler. Even after closing Softdent, the screen does not fully recover until a logoff/logon. I know that Softdent doesn't officially "support" TS (which, with all the clinics out there with multiple locations baffles me), but does anyone have any ideas?

Terminal services has nothing to do with what video card is installed in the system. Additionally, AFAIK, the TS, renamed 'Remote Desktop Connection' in XP, has not undergone significant change. The problems that you talk about could be caused by the program you are using using DirectX. Terminal services does not support 'overlay' type screens that are usually used in applications that display video or a lot of motion. This is why windows media player does not work over TS. Maybe you could ask your software manufacturer if they use an overlay window or any other sort of DirectX functionality. Also, would it be possible to obtain a screenshot of the TS client when it displays these errors?

To use the G-450 eTV card on SP2 You have to reduce Screen resolution to 16 bit, download a patch & re-configure your PC's software. .. Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

I fail to see why hardware incompatabilities would matter with Terminal Services. Terminal Services does not use the video card of the host machine whatsoever. I have had many problems with applications using DirectX for display with Terminal Services. Are you suggesting that the error is caused by the client machines? If so, if the clients are both XP SP1 and SP2, wouldn't the SP1 machines be unaffected? Also, the fact that one certain screen of the application causes these errors to occur leads me to believe that it is how the application render it's video, not SP2 and a graphics card incompatability.

What are you going to do when you need a triple header card though? Waiting for PCI Express doesn't count. Oh, nice choice of cards. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Poor NVIDIA.

I could easily use four screen during debugging of complex programs. Maybe the average user does not have need for that many monitors, but application development often times uses up a huge amount of screen real estate.

I work for a job shop, so I get all sort of different applications that I work on, depending on client needs. About the closest I've come to an actual 'dental' application is this application we are making for an insurance provider, working with electronic claims both dental and medical. We also do a scheduling application for pharmacy workers too, as an application service provider type thing.

This means that most of the work I do is with Microsoft Sql Server. I could probably do a pretty good job with Sybase too, because they share (to an extent) the Transact-Sql language.
