UltraVNC

Hey thanks for the quick reply! Just kidding, I just *HAD* to make a comment seeing a reply to a three-and-a-half year old message. Funny I had this topic set to notify me with replies. Seriously, though, thanks for the answer, NoFastidies. I'm guessing "de-iconify" means having something to do with ...

I'm looking to upgrade a couple remote servers as well and could use some assistance on the best menthod about doing this. I realize this is a dead topic from a few years ago but I was hoping someone else has used createinstall or knows of an easy way of remotely updating ultraVNC servers. I haven ...

@gbinnovations: No, I didn't resolve this. I still suspect the AOL software. I'm not going to solve it, acutally, because we dropped that client and their pesky computer. Sorry I could not be more help.

@kaldag: I'm pretty sure I tried disabling the video hook driver without success.

Hi all: Here is a weird situation. I have a Windows 2000 computer that has UltraVNC 1.0.2 Server running. When I try to connect to it using the viewer, I am prompted for the password, and after entering the correct password, I get the "please wait" text for a few seconds, then the viewer window goes ...

Good points. The new connection tab would be nice on the toolbar. Are there any UltraVNC fans out there that can make a nice icon for this? Who was it that made the nice icons for the logo and the green square with the eye? I would be tempted to scrap it and put a button in the menu bar. If we had a ...

+ "new connection" tab:
I have had about six or so sessions going with the servers on a 1024 width, and it gets to the point where you have to scroll the tab bar. Making the "new connection" tab smaller would help to eliminate this in some cases.

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but how about making the "new connection" tab small, as to not use up so much space on the tab bar. It could say simply "new", or just have a little icon indicating its purpose.

How about making the tabbed viewer remember its last window size and position? Reasoning: I run 1280x1024 on my desktop (viewer) and 1024x768 on my servers. Every time I open the tabbed viewer, I have to drag the bottom-right corner down to make the tabbed viewer larger than the 1024x768 server ...

Maybe this will help in combination with TC's registry edit. I found this FREE program called BootSafe just yesterday, but I haven't gotten around to testing it: http://www.superadblocker.com/bootsafe.html I also haven't tried to make an auto-connecting version of SC, but this BootSafe program ...

The viewer BETA 1.13 is great, but needs some fixes. It crashes regularly in particular instances. Are we going to see any newer versions of this soon?

Windows 98 does not support services. None of the Win9x/ME systems do. You have to have a Windows version based on the NT kernel for service support, i.e. NT/2000/XP/2003.

Rudi: This viewer is great. There are a few things that bother me: - At launch, I maximize the container viewer to my 1280x1024 desktop (on a secondary display). When I connect to a server running 1024x768, the 1.12 container viewer shrinks down to the size of the server window. I would like it to ...

Here's what I do: Make a connection the way YOU would like the DEFAULT setup to be, then close the connection. These settings are saved as the "options.vnc" file in your temp directory. Make this file read-only, and the vncviewer cannot overwrite your settings, even when the "save as default ...

Guest, If you are concerned about security when leaving the server running, then maybe the server package isn't the correct package for you. You may want to configure a single-click package which would be much cleaner on the "server" end. But in the given scenario, if you want the server to stop ...

solution1 vncviewer since rel 1.0.1 (6 august 2005) or higher vnviewer -listen port right click on systray vncviewer... left click " Toggle Listen Mode " every request from winvnc is simply ignored until you switch again "Toggel Listen Mode" redge, Ah, that does help. I was using the v1.0.1 viewer ...

This would be handy for me, since I have many remote machines configured with the UltraVNC server set to connect to my listening viewer upon reboot. Sometimes I have computers connect to me when I don't want them to. Would it be possible to create an Accept/Reject message on the listening viewer ...

Thanks, Redge, I forgot to add that info. My configurations for this occurrence are a combination of WinXP and Win2000 (happens on both), all running v1.0.1 or at least v1.0.0, and most importantly I do NOT use the video hook driver on the servers.

I was going to ask the very same thing. Moderators, should this thread be moved to the bug section? It certainly would be nice to be able to fullscreen on a secondary display. As it is now, when attempting to fullscreen on a secondary display, the fullscreen bar appears on the primary display and ...

I though I would chime in here and relate what happened to me last week. On July 12th, someone tried to brute force their way onto one of my remote servers. I noticed because my application event log was full (Windows 2000 Server). Anyway, for over 11 hours, an average of three attempts per minute ...

I actually like the pipe character in the password field and hope it doesn't change. If you are that concerned about it, make a poll on the forums. It would be interesting to see how many people like it versus dislike it.

Not sure if it is the solution for you, but I had this issue when I was not using the same version (latest version) on both ends of the connection. Are you?

I run 1280x1024 resolution on my workstation, and when I connect to a uvnc server running the same, the auto-scale feature brings the viewer down to 85%, so no scrolling is needed. This is nice. The thing I do not like about auto-scaling is that it will go above 100% if I connect to a uvnc server ...

Is it possible that there is a VPN policy (or lack of a policy) that is limiting traffic over certain ports? If you can use UltraVNC from the domain server locally but cannot use UltraVNC from the domain server when remotely controlling it with RDP, I would think the issue is with the remote ...

Great, Rudi. Thank you very much!

I have a batch file that installs/upgrades UltraVNC for computers on my LAN (I don't use the video driver). The batch first stops the service, deletes all files in the server's UltraVNC directory, then copies the files for the newer version from a network share, then applies a .reg file with the ...

An old post of mine should answer most of your questions, though this solution applies only to versions of Windows that supports services (NT line).

OK, I looked around some and could not find an answer to this, so I have to ask. What is the deal with the little square button and the input form next to the red and green lights in the upper-righthand corner of the viewer window? Is in ONLY a faster way to launch another viewer (i.e. NO different ...

OOPS, sorry, I missed that you were talking about the listening viewer. I posted about hiding the server icon, and edited the text after posting (can't find how to delete a post).

It is my understanding that the -autoreconnect switch is used in conjunction with the -connect switch when having a server "back-connect" to a listening viewer. I use it with a batch file for my clients that are behind a firewall that is not under my control. The batch file looks something like this ...

Yes, make the settings just the way you like them and then make the options.vnc file "read-only".
