You receive a "stop 0x00000050 (page fault in nonpaged area)" error message when you reconnect to a terminal server that is now using a different color depth (833154)

CAUSE

Typically, this problem occurs when the following events occur:

The Terminal Server client connects to a Terminal Server session that is running in 24-bit color.
The Terminal Server client disconnects from the Terminal Server session.
The Terminal Server session switches to 8-bit color.
The Terminal Server client tries to reconnect to the Terminal Server session.

This problem occurs because the Terminal Server stores the wrong color data size for the disconnected session. When a Terminal Server client reconnects to a session that is using a lower color depth than the original session, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) display driver uses the originally cached color depth. Therefore, you receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section.
