Yep. But they have "procedures" & I'm only here for another month

I could but it would take them a month to set it up

Will have to go back to working locally on the very low spec pc they've given me...

Very low tech but what about taking a screenshot on the remote PC... this depends if the issue is with RDP not sending the new visuals or on the actual rendering stuff itself, I don't know how VM graphics work to be honest.

Graphics hardware acceleration won't work over RDP, so it could be something to do with that. You can disable it in Firefox.

Do you have the option to connect using VNC which is a more 'dumb' remote connection and will just show what's on the screen?

Telerik/Html5 controls not rendering in RDP session

I'm putting a webpage together containing a load of reporting controls - charts & graphs etc. I have to do my development work on a VM that I access via RDP. While I was developing the solution I just had the controls do their stuff on page load which worked fine (all client side -this is an MVC app).

Now I've hooked everything up to click events, nothing happens. There is an Ajax call, I can see that a valid response is returned & I can inspect the HTML in firebug & everything looks as it should be. It's just as if the controls aren't getting repainted.

I had a suspicion that this may have something to do with terminal services - I've got a distant memory of animated gifs not working or something - & I got the web app set up on a local desktop & sure enough it worked fine.

Anyone know what this problem is with RDP / thin client environments & if there is any workaround as the client isn't giving me any alternative way of working?
