I have seen this happen again. On a machine that it worked 100% fine on with Win2k, when I re-loaded the machine with NT4 SERVER, the VNC server dies on connect and there's no way to fix unless you visit the actual machine to clear down the error and restart the service.
TightVNC 1.2.3 used in this instance. Only other software: Visual C++ 6.0 Sp4, Oracle 8.1.7 client. Oracle replaced MFC42.DLL and MSVCIRT.DLL + one or two others during install - does TightVNC use these? Anyone else come across this recently?
