There is an error in the documentation, key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3 is the correct.

Hi redge:

I have modified the ultravnc.ini file as mentioned:

modified from

DisableTrayIcon=0 (show icon = default)

to

DisableTrayIcon=1 (hide icon) from

Now the service is running, icon is not being shown however it is not accepting any client connections :S

The error message the client gets is:

Error!
VNC connection failed!
recvfrom failed: ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)

why? Help pls...

thanks in advance,
