I have VNC running as a service at home on my Win 95 machine. I just ran the
Install Winvnc Service option from the Start menu. I don't recall if that
was 3.3.3r7 or 3.3.3r9 but it was pretty straight forward. I think I also
saw something on the VNC site about doing this. Sorry I don't recall where
but probably in the contributed area.

If you're using 9x, I don't think you can, but you can on NT/2000.
If you haven't added VNC as a service: namely gone into the Start
Menu and run the add service icon.
Go into the command prompt and change dir to the VNC folder
(default = \program files\orl\vnc).
Type "winvnc -install" (enter) and note any error messages.
Then "net start winvnc" (enter) and then "winvnc -servicehelper"
(enter).
If you have set a password under the key "default" in
hklm\software\orl\winvnc3 then the service should start up and stay
running.
A common problem is that people set a password as one user and
forget to set this as the default. This means that the service
attempts to start, but as no password is set, NT can't start the
service up.
Hope that helps
Richard
