IS THE TERMINAL SERVICES CLIENT CAUSING A GDI FAULT?

Windows Terminal Services (TS) is a technology used by both administrators and the user community to maintain servers. One of its greatest benefits is that the TS client program is easy to install on Windows 95/98 computers. However, you may find that when you install the client, you receive the following error:

MSTSC caused a general protection fault in gdi.exe 0014:0000048E

Even a single damaged font in the \fonts folder can cause this fault. To replace the damaged font, you can reinstall Windows over the existing installation. If this doesn't work:

1. Boot your computer in MS-DOS mode.

2. Confirm that you have access to your CD-ROM drive and Windows installation media.

3.Rename the \fonts folder to \oldfonts.

4.Tryreinstalling Windows again by running Setup.exe from the installationCD.

If the TS client runs when Windows restarts, copy any extra fonts from \oldfonts into \fonts one at a time. Try the TS client after each copy to locate the damaged font.
