(1) Close Exceed.
(2) Reset your Windows desktop to 8 bit mode (Right click on the
Desktop, select Properties; Settings; Color Palette 256 colors).
(3) Restart Exceed.
(4) Restart IDL on the remote server.

Now changes to the color table should be reflected instantly onscreen.
Note that this is *only* possible in 8 bit mode.

Cheers,
Liam.
