Glyn, You are not the first to report this strange behavior on Win2K. I am unable to reproduce the problem in our Q/A lab so far. Could you provide some more details?
1- What OS are you using? Win2K Server, Advanced Server, Pro? 2- Do you have terminal services installed? Running? 3- What license model is in effect? Per server or per user? 4- Have you enabled logging in the WinVNC.exe server? For AT&T and TridiaVNC binaries: HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\ DebugMode=DWORD:0x00000002 HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\ DebugLevel=DWORD:0x00000009 For TridiaVNC Pro binaries: HKLM\Software\Tridia\TridiaVNC\WinVNC3\ DebugMode=DWORD:0x00000002 HKLM\Software\Tridia\TridiaVNC\WinVNC3\ DebugLevel=DWORD:0x00000009 Then look for the "WinVNC.log" file in the WinVNC.exe directory or the windows directory when running as a service. If you could post the relevant section of the log file, or email me the whole thing, I'll take a look at it.
