Add Option to make the Video Hook Driver always active

Post by RandyUVNC »

I have a program (RSView32 7.5) that has about a 10% chance of lockup if I vnc into the computer it is running on. The problem is related to when the Video Hook Driver is activated. My existing workaround is to allow loopback connections and then open a viewer on the server pointed to the server. This activates the Video Hook Driver and keeps it activated. Any new remote clients do not cause any changes in the video driver configuration. However, if the local viewer is accidently closed and there are no existing remote clients, the Video Hook Driver will unhook and put the program at risk of a crash the next time a new vnc client is activated.

My request is for an option to make the Video Hook Driver always active.

It's not a bug....

If the mirror driver activate, the hardware acceleration is disabled.
Some applications can't handle the switch and crash. This can not be solved by making changes to vnc.
