PJ, If you used Add/Remove programs to remove it then it definitely won't load on startup (the files fundamentally won't be there to run!), so it sounds like it's something else that is installed on your system. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

my first thought is also fast user switching. check that the server is only logged in once. XP's fast user switching operates on the same display 0, display 1, etc. principle that X windows operates on, and the VNC server, as far as I know, only works with the session on display 0 by default, if *

Easiest way is to 1) Use something that has encryption built-in, such as Zebedee (includes a VNC-based app, but also encryption) or the "Enterprise" version of RealVNC. 2) Set up some sort of Dynamic DNS account (dyndns.org, ZoneEdit if you have your own domain name, or one of the other dynamic DNS

Another way to test this theory is to RDP into the remote machine (or have someone at the remote machine), bring up a DOS prompt and enter: tscon 0 /dest:console This will reset the Session 0 Erik is describing back to the console, where VNC can once again control it. If this fixes the issu
