I am new to VNC and have a few questions.

I have VNC installed on two XP home computers. The service computer
has 2 users configured Fred and Sam.  I logged in as Fred and did the
VNC service install.  When I log in as Fred the desktop is displayed
on the monitor. I can connect from another XP home computer using the
VNC viewer. I can also connect from outside my local network going
through my Linux firewall.

From a client VNC viewer I can do a swith user and get back to the
windows user login screen.  If I click on Fred I get back to Fred's
desktop and all is well but if click on Sam my VNC client viewer goes
south.  The VNC service side now shows Sam's destop but on the client
viewer I only get a blank screen.  If I exit the viewer and try to
connect again I get the following error:

SelectObject to CompatibleDC failed: The operation completed
successfully.

If I go back to the VNC service computer and switch user back to Fred, I can
connect again.

It seems like I am in user mode but when I click on the VNC icon in the tray and look at optons it says "service mode".

Do I have something configured incorrectly?

-------question 2------

On the VNC service side if I click on the VNC icon in the tray and
choose options, one of the items in the list is "Add New Client" I have
no idea what this is.
