I bet somewher in between the screen geometry (size or colordepth) change. Vnc cannot co-op with that. - Normal user is logged in with it's own geometry - Screensaver/lock runs with normal-users geometry - Administrator unlocks: - normal user is logged out: system goes to default geometry - administrator logs in: system goes to administrators geometry. Hence, it's possible both user and administrator use same geometry but if the default differs (also look at the colordepth!) then vncserver stops. > > Locally, the workstation works OK but VNC is disabled for some reason > until rebooted.

If the vncserver runs as a server, it should restart as every server should. I don't think it's W2K special. Except that the screen-saver or the password screen might change the screen geometry.
