Poor colors of Orion 8.5 web application

Hi all

I never seen this on any other version of Orion but one day to another the colors of the web application has dropped to 16. Graphs are terrible, network maps are dotted and pixelated and the pages are generally bleak looking.

Is this something that can be tweaked in MS IIS or in Orion? I'm running Windows 2003 and IIS6.

Regards

Solved!

Ok now I'm baffled. I've been around for a while but never seen a thing like this.

The Terminal Server / Remote Desktop connection did it. When reading the posts one more time I remembered I tried the server out using Remote Desktop MMC snap-in a few days ago. I didn't notice anything special about that connection but now when I double checked I saw that the color depth of the RD connection was using 16bit instead of full color as I use when making regular connections using RD shortcuts.

After logging off the "16 bit" session the Orion application returned to full color.

I can do nothing else than nod in amazement.

Have you tried re-running the Configuration Wizard? Just check the Web checkbox.

Do you have a remote web server?

Same thing after Conf Wizard. NTA graphs are OK though, I've uploaded a new picture showing NTA graph and Router Packet Loss Dial

The web server is hosted by me.
