Windows Graphics Error, Event ID 4120
Hello Experts,
I have a client who has an application that run on a terminal server. An upgrade to the software was performed and we get the error (see attachment)
Windows Graphics Error
Event ID: 4120
The Windows Graphics layer has been corrupted
It is recommended that you save your setting and restart Practice Studio
Practice Studio is the application.
I look in the event viewer and there is no sign of the Event ID 4120 which makes me believe this is an issue with the application and the error is displayed by the application.
Any idea of how to "repair" the graphics layer for Windows Server 2008r2.
I have hunted and can't find anything. What I did do is updated and repaired the .Net framework which the application relies on.

If there is something wrong with the windows layers, you can run (As administrator) a command prompt, and type in "SFC /verifyonly" to check the OS. If there is an error you will be prompted for the Windows installation disk. (Alternately you can run SFC /Scannow and that will repair automatically any errors, but still relys on the disk..
Keep in mind that the Event ID you are getting is generally a permissions issue..

Was not a OS issue, it was a software issue.
Do the specifications of the terminal server meet the minimum "workstation" requirements for the software?
Practice Studio has a document on their system requirements:
https://www.practicestudio.net/Services/SystemRequirements/PracticeStudio_SystemRequirements.pdf
See page 8 of that document:

Unfortunately, the document doesn't discuss using the app in a multi-user, terminal server environment. How do users connect? Are their remote sessions restricted to a certain video resolution or color depth? Is the server Server 2008 or later? Windows Server 2003 probably isn't supported since XP isn't a support operating system for this program.
