Hi James, Thanks for the quick reply. Your explanation in did clarified the problem. But alas, I'm still facing a dilemma. If I use the "Free" vnc I can't change languages. If I use the Enterprise or Personal, the client side will control the keyboard layout. In the environment I'm using, I need the server side computer to control the keyboard layout, more specifically, it changes layouts automatically by itself. Is there any solution for that issue ? If there's no solution for that, is there an option for the server side to change the keyboard layout for the viewer side ?
