Hi John,
You are incorrect.
Resizing the desktop when using VNC Server for Windows is done by resizing
it in the normal way for Windows. Resizing X desktops is possible using the
XRANDR extension, which is something that we'll probably be adding support
for in VNC server soon.

John,
VNC Enterprise and Personal Editions are capable of taking advantage of the
VNC Mirror Driver, which we currently have a pre-release of available. VNC
Free Edition does not currently support this mechanism.

You are using an old VNC 4 release - you cannot drag & drop (or "Open

Viewer 3.3, on which TightVNC is based, does not support drag & drop opening
of .vnc files either.

Are you sure that you don't have both VNC 3 and VNC 4 installed on the
computer in question? If you are running VNC Viewer 4 manually, saving a
.vnc file, but VNC Viewer 3 is registered to open .vnc files then you'll see
errors of this sort.

Ronald,
Please note that, from your previous mails, you appear to be using a rather
old VNC 4.0 release - you probably want to upgrade your viewer, at least, to
VNC 4.1.1.
We have not had any problems with saving .vnc files with VNC 4.1.1 reported.

I noticed that there is an option (greyed out) to use a mirror driver in
VNC4.1.1. Is this the same DF Mirage driver that TightVNC makes available?
If not, where does one get it and how does one go about using it if the
option is greyed out?
Thanks

I have that problem with some systems... I generally have to go in and
change the settings for that particular session manually to force the number
of colors down and also to change the encoding. You might try that. Or you

The XP firewall is disabled.
The XP box running the the VNC server is a brand new

You're correct, John, but that's just for VNC3 based viewers. That

Ronald,
you can set VNC server to no password authentication mode via: Tray
Icon->Options->Authentication->No Authentication command.
As for the viewer's password command line switch, the /password switch is
supported by UltraVNC and TightVNC viewers, I'm not sure if RealVNC viewer
supports it.

"Save Configuration File to" is what you're wanting. It will offer to save
the password as well, This *can* be a security hole, even though the
password is encrypted, so you may or may not want to save the password in
the file, if you're using a shared PC.

That should never be an option. It's one thing to save the password for

How can this be done? I've checked the documentation at

it can be done if you set empty password in the VNC server properties. But
this is a huge security hole.
It's also possible to pass password to a vncviewer.exe using /password
