When running Fwink on a machine via Remote Desktop
(Terminal Services), the timed picture updates do not
appear to work. If you are using time/date overlays,
those *do* update, but the picture itself does not.

For example, I have a server on which I run Fwink. I
typically access it via Remote Desktop. If I run Fwink
via that remote desktop session, only the first picture
taken works. Every subsequent picture is identical to
the first. Fwink does write a new jpg file (if you
have it set to write to a file) and it will ftp the new
file on the timer you have specified. It will also
correctly update the time/date stamp on the image.
However, the image itself doesn't get updated.

If I log onto the machine locally and run Fwink that
way, this problem does not appear.

I have verified this behavior on Windows XP and Windows
2003 Server.

    That's interesting. I'll have to try it myself.

    Greetings. Just wondering if you may have been able to reproduce this issue on your end. It appears that a couple other people may be experiencing it as well in request ID 1584519.
