If by disconnecting, you mean turning off the VNC viewer on the client
system, I have tried that. Exactly what transpired:
-I logged into the administrator account.
-Somewhere (presumably before login) the VNC service started.
-I changed to my personal account
-I went to another computer and tried to login via VNC, all I got was a
black screen.
-After returning to the server I looked in the taskbar and found that the
VNC icon was not present in that profile.
-I switched back to administrator, and the icon was there.
-At this point I disabled the service, and changed back to my personal
account, started the VNC server app, and everything worked.
That's all the detail I've got, if anyone has any good ideas on what's going
on I'd be happy to hear :-)
Thanks in advance,
Tom Kent
