[solved] Can't get two monitors to work no matter what

Post by asmodeus »

After I updated from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8 I can only see primary display via VNC. I tried fix from one of the threads here, got correct settings and everything - still doesn't work. I tried with and without Mirror driver and system hook.

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

What am I doing wrong?

[mod=494,1261092459]solution: full uninstall old version....reboot... delete utravnc folder... install uvnc 1.0.8.2[/mod]

What switch button?

For viewer I use Jaadu VNC (iPhone) and it worked with 1.0.6. Now, I can only see primary display no matter what settings I use for UltraVNC.

Do you want to see the logs or anything like that?

The ultravnc viewer has a button to switch between primary and multi-monitor view....
If you use another viewer, you don't have this button.

Did you try to set secondary=1 in the ultravnc.ini file

It was set to 0. I set it to 1, restarted service but no :-/ Still only one display.

By the way, I noticed, that I have at least two winvnc.exe running at all times and usually it's more like 4-8. Doesn't seem normal to me.

Is there anything else I could try? It was an upgrade from 1.0.6, does it matter?

delete ultravnc folder...
