Well, I've had an interesting day. I updated the video driver, rebooted the server, and got a BSOD on boot up. It wouldn't boot in VGA mode, or last known good. I tried the repair disk, that re-set a couple of video files to the OS defaults, but still no joy. I went in using DOS (and a very handy DOS NTFS viewer) and deleted all the video files, manually reinstalling them. Still no joy. Eventually gave up and phoned tech support who very helpfully told me to rebuild the server. Anyway, the server now has a brand new install of NT4 on it, and guess what...VNC is working perfectly on it. I'm not sure that is the easiest way of troubleshooting a problem, but if it works... :o)

It will probably be the video driver. I might suggest updating it.

On three of them it works fine, with no problems at all. On the other two, the service crashes with the following application error: WinVNC.exe Exception: access violation (0xc0000005), Address: 0x0042a873 The event viewer gives no error logs. Sorry if this has been asked before, I have checked the archives, but it may have slipped through my search Matt Jones P&L Beds - Barnsley PC Systems Administrator DDI: 01226 272146 Fax: 01226 270804 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
