Hello Denis,
no I didn't find any solvation for this problem.
I use the w98 machine mainly for gaming, and there are probably installed some
additional drivers on it - or some additional stuff like DirectX or whatever
else those games nowadays need to have installed... :o)
More or less I tried all possible combinations of VNC and screen colors - no
help.
Regards
Zoran
