Grid pattern on graphics screens

Since I see it with so many different clients, I have not tried
updating anything on that end.

My machine uses a ATI Rage XL card. I'll check around for driver
updates on that.

I suppose I could start backing out windows updates since nothing else
has changed. The issue seems to be limited to the tsmmc. I can run
mstsc with no problem. I wonder if its the scaling / compression on
the video?

This is happening at my client as well, it has started ever since we
installed patch MS09-044. We use RDP 5.1 and have a case open on it,
the developer has not responded with a solution yet.

Thanks for the update. I hadn't identified which patch was
responsible. Please drop a note here if you find a resolution.

I ran across another discussion of the same problem at
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-3872147.php

Apparently, you can install RDP 6.1 for XP to fix it. I haven't tried
it yet because I am using Server 2003.

I have the same problem on my 2003 server using the Remote Desktops snap-in,
but not the RDP client itself. I updated to RDP 6.0 on the server, which
updated the client, but it did not update the MMC snap-in version. There does
not appear to be an update available for the MMC version.
