Just wanted to clarify...my attempts are not to spy on staff...but rather to perform quality control measures which is very common for any kind of telephone support or customer service business. As far as I know, VNC was installed as a service (not sure cause someone else installed it), but will check to see if that is what my problem might be. As for taking over the desktop, this is not what I am trying to do. I am only trying to see the screen which is possible by setting the disable feature.

Sound like you have just been running VNC as a program and have not installit as a service. When VNC is runn as a service you should always be able to login. At least that was the case when i used it on NT servers. <rant> VNC is not spyware, This sounds like what you are looking for of hand. After all when you login in to it you take over the desktop (on Win boxes). It is an Admin tool, not to be confused with things like Back Orffice.(I know BO can be used to admin also).</rant>.
