RemoteFX Display problems with Windows 8.1 VM but not on Windows 7 VM. Both running on Hyper-V VDI Server 2012R2

After many, many, hours of wading through and eliminating potential variables the issue has been narrowed down to being present with a Windows 8.1 VM and not on Windows 7 VM.
The problem is with glitchy display issues (Random Pixellation, Fuzzy Screen areas, Entire Screen filled with random shapes/colors etc.).
This is a Server 2012 R2 environment it is running Hyper-V Remote Desktop Virtualization Host.
An Nvidia Quadro K2200 adapter has been enabled for RemoteFX and passed through.
Also have tried Nvidia Grid K2 adapter. Both adapters use same driver set and multiple driver versions have been tested.
Two Generation 1 VM's have been created. One for WIndows 8.1, One for Windows 7. All updates installed.
Each VM uses the same set of Hyper-V resources, Virtual Switch etc. (The settings for each VM are the same).
With RemoteFX disabled on each VM the issue is not present on either VM.
With RemoteFX enabled on each VM the issue is present on the Windows 8.1 VM and not the Windows 7 VM.
There is no difference if only one VM at a time is enabled and running. (Not GPU load related)
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Generation 2 virtual machines have a simplified virtual hardware model, and supports Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware instead of BIOS-based firmware. The majority of legacy devices have also been removed from generation 2 virtual machines.

Weird problem with my GPU being installed but not used by windows.

I have a problem with my graphics card.
I have an integrated Intel HD Graphics gpu, that Windows recognised and installed the driver thereof.
The problem is, Windows doesn't use this gpu, but uses his own Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
I'll provide some screenshots here:

Ps: Don't answer with the reply of "Have you updated your drivers yet", because I've done that over a thousand times already.
Thanks in advance!

Is there any solution for the above query. I called HP customer care. But it seems that they accept calls only on weekdays.

Display problem in bridge on one computer but not on other

Hi,
I am having a problem with tif and psd, (& I see now it’s on some jpg) images displaying properly on my XP SP3 desktop. The thumbnail looks ok, but the preview image appeared rippled,
and none of the original image is discernable.
I’m using PSCS4 Extended. I’ve looked on my Vista Ultimate SP2 laptop and for the same program the images are displaying fine.
The Adobe programs on the desktop are up to date .
The images in question on the desktop appear fine in Photoshop or IrfanViewer. I have copied on of them to the laptop and in Bridge on the laptop it appears fine.
I’m assuming that somehow, Adobe Bridge has got corrupted on the desktop.
Is there any way to cleanly reinstall just bridge ?
Thanks to whoever kind & wise enough to advise

Thank you Curt and John for the responses.
Tell us a bit more about the desktop.
Video card make and model
Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440- updated to last version available but that (ForceWare 93.71) came out 2006. This card is not made any more. I removed card from pc to have a better look at it. Took photos - Guy in Maplins warned a replacement may not fit into motherboard.
Hard drive(s) free capacity
On C drive (program drive) there is 28.5GB and on D drive ( where documents and pics are) is only 5.25GB. It was less than that but I moved a couple of GB over to C drive. (i need to sort outv removing some stuff.
Memory 1.25 GB of RAM (maximum possible in my old machine is 1.5GB)
Pentium (R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz 2.02GHz
Actual version numbers of Bridge and Photoshop
Bridge 3.0.0.464
Photoshop CS4 Extended 11.0.1
No you can't re-install just Bridge but you could try resetting the preferences by holding down the Ctrl key while it starts.
Thanks I now tried this, and set back to default settings, and cleared the cache. (Problem not resolved.)
Maybe Ishould reinstall Photoshop, but copy my folders for plug-ins so can paste back and plug-ins would still be there for Photoshop afterwards. Wouldn't they.. ? (Are there any other significant folders I should back up? I'm thinking -just delete the Bridge folder...
I'm open to all ideas

Problem with WiFi on one netbook but not the other

I have a curious problem in that I am able to connect and browse via the wireless network on one netbook using the home hub no problem, but another netbook connects the wireless network but does not allow me to browse. Curiously it works no problem on ethernet. The netbook with the problem is running Windows 7 Home Pro with Microsoft Essentials as the AV protection. The netbook without the problem is running Windows XP Home Pro with AVG.
I have tried all sorts from rolling back Windows updates, reinstalling the wireless device drivers, refreshing/flushing dns and various command prompts but nothing seems to work.
I took the netbook away and tried connecting to another wireless network and it worked straight away no problem which leads me to believe it is a dns issue with the BT connection on my netbook.
I have enclosed the IPCONFIG for both the wireless and ethernet connection in case anyone can spot anything and make suggestions...

Wireless connections are classed as public by default, so file sharing and network discovery is disabled.
You have to change your wireless connection so that it is in the Private network classification.
I cannot remember how to do this, as its a while since I played around with a Win 7 or Vista laptop.
Any settings only affect the actual wireless connection you change, so if you access public wifi, then that will be classed as a public network, and file sharing will be disabled.
Ethernet connections are usually assumed private.
I am sure a Google search will tell you more, if its not in Windows help.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Problem with slideshow basic, works locally but not remotely

Hi, I've noticed many threads on this issue and I have tried many fixes but no success. Most seems to revolve around the SpryWidget.js file so I've loaded it directly from AdobeLabs file. In fact, have loaded all .js files directly via my hosting server in case was a problem with binary/ASCII loading through Dreamweaver Mac.
My .js file is here:
http://www.keishahulsey.com/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryWidget.js
And this is the page I'm having problems with...
http://www.keishahulsey.com/thesis/MA-2-10.php
I so rarely post on these forums only read them but am desperate. Would greatly appreciate any help as this is my presentation website for thesis due in one week.

The link to the main images is incorrect.
If I go to http://www.keishahulsey.com/_images/_slideshows/thesis-1-60/160smithfield1.jpg, I see the thumbnail, but if I go to http://www.keishahulsey.com/_images/_thesis/_content/1-60-smithfield-1.jpg, instead of the main image, I get a page with markup.
Simply correct the path and all is well.

Binary data problem with web services on JRockit but not Sun JDK

I have a problem with binary data in SOAP and JRockit
(jrrt-3.0.0-1.6.0-linux-x64.bin) . I have an set of web services based
on EJB 3.0 which return images as byte arrays inside a SOAP envelope
to be consumed by .NET 2 services. The host app server is Oracle
Application Server 10.3.1 on RHEL Linux update 4, on 64 bit Xeon 5500
series HP blade hardware.
While most images are fine most of the time, one particular image
gives this message when being consumed in the .NET client:
The '■' character, hexadecimal value 0x1F, cannot be included in a
name. Line 2, position 380038.
The MSDN suggests that this is usually caused by non-escaping of reserved XML characters like < but this isn't one of those.
The SOAP looks ok and for the life of me I can't see why this ought to
be a problem, especially since the problem doesn't arise running with
the SUN JDK 1.6_06 64 bit)
When making the same call from the OAS Enterprise Manager, I can make the same call with no problem (but the data is just rendered as character data in a browser) which maybe suggests some incompatibility with how JRockit is serializing the data ?
Any ideas, I would be very happy to hear - JRockit gives a 15% or so
speed boost to the website that these services power so obviously we
want to use it if possible.

Seems to be the case that using MTOM stops this problem with JRockit. Strange but apparently true (so far).

Problem with Color Ghosting in CS6 but Not CS4 ?

I have HD Footage from my Canon HV30 camcorder and when I open a project and edit the video in CS4 there is no color Ghosting, but when I open a project with the same source files and project settings in CS6 I get a nasty color ghosting. Has anyone seen or experience this issue before? I have included and example of the same frame in each of the programs.
Help!!

Unfortunately I don't have another camera with HDV output. I could borrow another camera but it would be AVCHD.
I'm not sure about any issues with the media and if there is a way to get this in front of a developer type person who would be knowledgable about the differences in how PP CS4 converts HDV source into a digital file vs how PP CS6 converts the HDV source into the digital file. Does the PP capture process use a hard coded CODEC that is different between CS4 and CS6?
I work in telecom and there is a huge effort to comply with standards, but interoperability is still a big issue even when there is a common governing standard.
Because my PP CS4 software converts and displays the "Standard Compliant" source media properly (without any Ghosting/Interlace artifacts) my experience troubleshooting technical issues tells to ask the question "What changed between things working and things not working?" I am drawn to focusing on the difference introduced with CS6.
As addressed earlier in this thread, it could possibly be interaction with display drivers (ruled out with updated drivers and because the exported files have the issue as well?). It could have been an issue with not having the latest PP CS6 software (eliminated with software update). The only thing I have left is an interoperability issue with either my camera output having some varient in standard compliance that is causing the issue or the PP CS6 software having some issue in interpreting or processing the streaming media input that PP CS4 did not have.
So for my situation, here are the specifics: I am using a Canon HV30 Video camera set for 1080i 30p HDV format to tape. Within the camera I have it set for shutter priority, at 1/250 Shutter speed. Now we know there are ~30 frames per second so this faster "shutter speed" must be interpolated/converted to blend into the 30 frames.
To replicate/test the situation I would need (or someone else with one) a Canon HV20, HV30, or HV40 setup with the same shutter vs aperture priority recording some fast moving action.
My bottom line is I really like working in PP CS6 and don't want to have to stay in CS4 because of this issue. Any ideas how to escalate this issue to the developers or any other ways to move towards a resolution?
Thanks,

When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. In the task manager i noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. The problem remains in mozilla safe-mode, but not in windows safe-mode. Thks!

Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. I opened the task manager and noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. I tried to start mozilla in safe mode but the problem remains. The only way to use mozilla in my computer is restarting the windows in safe-mode. Last thing: i already tried to reinstall the program. Please help me!

I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

Problem with SMTP from one computer but not another

I have an iMac connected directly to my network via Ethernet and a MacBook Pro which connects via wireless. I have a program installed on my iMac that sends me alerts via e-mail, and it works just fine. When I try and use Mail, however, on my MBP with the exact same settings and credentials, it fails. To make this even more perplexing, Mail works fine from my office on a different network.
To work around this, I use Comcast's SMTP server on my laptop, but why would my regular e-mail provider's SMTP work on one machine and not another on the same network? The only difference is one is connected via Ethernet and the other by wireless.
I use a Time Capsule as my router and wireless access point. Has anyone got an idea about what's causing this?

Please report the relationship, if any, of the "regular e-mail provider's SMTP" and your ISP? If Comcast is your ISP, they regularly block use of Port 25, but if you have selected Use Default Port in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information for the Outgoing Server, then it may be making the wrong choice to work with Comcast. Regardless of the ISP, for this regular account click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP, choose Edit Server List, then click on the Advanced Tab that will then be seen and choose Use Custom Port, then enter the proper port directly -- that port is probably Port 587, but that could depend on the advisory of the email provider for using their SMTP.

Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display. The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom. And the left side of the content is not visible. I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct. I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available. When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart... The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7. The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion. I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:

Have you tried the restart/reset/restore troubleshooting path? That would be the best initial set of steps to take, particularly in a situation like this.

Display problems with Kwin on intel hardware

Hi all,
Since the latest update of xorg and intel drivers, I have a display problem with kwin's expose-like feature. Before I file a bug,
- Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Do you have a workaround?
- Does anyone know what could be at fault?

I will, and I hope you'll contribute your logs to the bug report! The question is where to submit it: I'm pretty sure the bug is upstream, but is it a kwin bug or an xorg/intel bug?
Ctrl+F11 works "fine" on my system, even though it crashed kwin the first time I tried it :-)
Well, that's a very tough question! I was thinking to fill a bug report in Arch's bugtracker, although I also think it is an upstream bug.
