Question 1: Not that I have ever experience.
Question 2: You could check to see if it does the same thing when you close it from the task bar icon. Also try using TightVNC instead. Many bugs have been squashed in recent versions. Also, try uninstalling WinVNC. Then shutdown, reboot and then reinstall WinVNC. It might just be a matter of the sequence in which it was or you may have a conflict with another application. You can test this by running MSCONFIG.EXE (included with 98) or Startup Control Panel (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) and disabling all of the startup stuff except for VNC. If everything is OK when you shut down, try adding them back in one at a time, shutting down and rebooting. Does it happen all the time or only after having run a certain application? Or does it happen only after someone has taken over the screen at least once. You can also try this: Make sure the WinVNC server (a.k.a. Host) doesn't startup automatically either using one of the above steps or what ever method works for you. Shutdown and reboot your PC. If everything is still working fine, launch WinVNC host manually by clicking on it using your startup menu. Once it is running, shutdown your computer. Report your findings back here. Just two more areas that I can think of. These are more last resort in my opinion. 1) Update your video drivers to the latest versions available on your manufacturers web site. 2) Reinstall TCP/IP. Of course if you need help doing any of the above, please post another message. Either way, let everyone know how it turns out as the information you provide may one day help someone else.
