Another XP bug:
When you have more than one profile open simultaneously (ya know, using the
quick user change feature) the VNC server only shows the window of the user
that it was originally started in. So if you start the computer, and enter
user "A" and then switch to user "B" without logging out of user "A" it will
still show the screen for user "A", except it is just black, because the
display for that one is turned off. I had to turn off the service and use
the app mode to get access for user "B", unfortunately this doesn't allow
for an unattended start, opening VNC, which is where the problem arises,
luckily this isn't a big problem, cause I don't have to re-boot very often
(by windows standards, once every half month so far). Anyway, does this
sound like it could be remedied by changing a service setting??? Or is it a
problem with VNC? Thanks in advance.
