The error message is probably complaining that it cannot
create any "unix domain" sockets.  I suggest that you add
the "-nolisten local" option to the Xvnc command line.
This option tells Xvnc not to create
any unix domain sockets in /tmp/.X11-unix, in the first place.

You must now always specify the hostname in the $DISPLAY
environment variable (for example, "myhost:1" instead of just ":1"), 
in order for Xvnc to be able to start
when you have "-nolisten local" in the Xvnc command line.

If Xvnc doesn't write anything to /tmp/.X11-unix,
by using the "-nolisten local" option to Xvnc,
then there will be nothing to delete.

Vncviewer runs very smoothly on my Windows98 2nd edition system.
Find out what is making your system so busy, by running a program
that displays the CPU usage of all running processes (like the
Unix "top" program). One possibility is a freeware program called:
Another Task Manager (ATM); here is one place to get it:
