The short story is, XP could be theoretically converted into a simultaneous multi-user graphical OS. They want to make sure they get paid for access if anyone does. In any case, on Windows VNC does what NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and the Remote Desktop features do, so this doesn't apply to i

You may not have a valid default password for the situation when your user account is not logged in - this is a problem if you have run the service helper stuff. Check that a password entry exists in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default There should b
