Hello to everybody.
I've installed a server with Windows 2003 Server R2. All were working all right and I installed Photoshop CS on the server.
The program works all right locally but I want to run it using terminal services. When I logon using this kind of connection and execute Photoshop, I received an error (cannot load some dll's or something else) and then them program closes.
I've assigned full control rights to Everyone at Photoshop folder but it doesn't work.
What can I do? Photoshop isn't Terminal Server compatible?
The same thing happens with Acrobat 7.0.
Thanks and sorry about my English!!

There is no way an intensive app like Photoshop will work on such a set-up. It is not even recommend you open and save files across a network.
You'll need to install Photoshop on each machine and instruct the operators to copy the files to their local drive then copy them back after editing.

I know that it isn't recommended running Photoshop across a network, but due to this I thought on using Terminal Server. The most important feature on TS is that the network is not collapsed because the server does all the work and only sends across the network the screen with the results.
Other software works perfectly on TS. Why doesn't Photoshop or Adobe Pro work?

Why doesn't Photoshop or Adobe Pro work?
Because it is designed to work on a dedicated, local computer.

Doesn't the license prohibit it from being on a server with multiple users able to access it?

Pedro. The traffic there and back just to display the image on screen is far too heavy and far too complex to successfully work over a network.
Even putting your scratch disk on an external firwire drive will slow things to a crawl.

I'm using Photoshop on Windows 2003 with Remote desktop and it works fine.

Pedro,
I have Photoshop installed on 6 2003 terminal servers. If the servers themselves are fast then Photoshop will work fine...for casual use. Don't put a designer on it...you won't like the awful noise that they'll make. If you get a license that allows x number of concurrent users, then you'll be fine. When you installed the application, did you put the TS into install mode?
