Font, Cursor, and Redraw Problems with Adobe Type Manager (149175)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1

This article was previously published under Q149175

SYMPTOMS

Remote control of a Windows or Windows for Workgroups client with Adobe Type Manager installed causes one of the following two behaviors:

If ATM is enabled, menu and window fonts do not appear in the Quick Viewer window.
If ATM is disabled, screen redraws are not correct, most icons are not displayed, or the cursor is split in half (with a white space), and each half appears in mirror image.

CAUSE

The ATM install replaces System.drv with Atmsys.drv in the [BOOT] section of the System.ini. It also adds the following line:

   atm.system.drv=system.drv

RESOLUTION

If the following changes are added to the System.ini [BOOT] section, both problems are resolved.

   ;system.drv=atmsys.drv
   system.drv=system.drv
   ;atm.system.drv=system.drv

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
