UltraVNC

I rebuilt SC after upgrading from 102 to 1053 but I cannot connect. Is the current version of SC supposed to work with 1.0.5.3? Thanks.

Thanks. I will try that.

The version of WinVNC.exe is 1.1.0.2. I believe that is the latest stable release.

I should mention that I updated UltraVNC from an earlier version using remote desktop. I don't think this is the source of the problem since I have done this on other PCs without encountering this problem.

On one XP Pro SP2 machine I get the "No existing instance of WinVNC could be contacted" error dialog when I click View Default Settings from the menu. The WinVNC service is definitely running. On this same machine the service helper will not start either automatically or manually via the menu. When ...

Thanks for your reply. The registry entry does exist. Even if the registry key does not exist I should be able to view the default settings or start the service helper via the Start | All Programs | UltraVNC menu but I cannot. When I try to view the default settings I still get the "No existing ...

I have one machine running XP Pro SP2 where the VNC service starts automatically but the service helper never appears in the tray. If I try to run the service helper from the menu I get the hourglass cursor briefly but the helper never appears in the tray. If I select Show Default Settings from the ...

Unfortunately 1.04 does not help me until 1.04 single click is available.

I'll keep watching for it. Thanks.

I just tried using the latest released version (1.0.2) to connect to a machine running Vista Business. Aero is disabled. Every time a UAC dialog asking permission to do something is displayed the connection is broken. Will this be fixed in a future version or is the only way to use UVNC with Vista ...

Thanks. I'll change when 1.04 is released.

I just connected to my first Vista computer using UVNC. When I click the start button the menu displays instantly on the remote PC but takes five seconds or more to appear on my screen. When I connect to a Win2k or XP machine the performance is excellent. What must I do to to get adequate ...

I am trying to use Single Click but I cannot find any information on how to configure the viewer to accept a reverse connection. Can someone point me to the documentation for this? Thanks

Can I use a domain name instead of an IP address when I configure Single Click? I do not have a static IP address.

Will single click work from behind a NAT router? I assume the answer is no.

Thanks.

Can anyone point me to an explanation of the Poll Full Screen and Poll Console Windows Only settings in the Current User Properties dialog? The documentation contains nothing but a question mark. Thanks.

Using UltraVNC 1.1.0.2 connecting to an XP SP2 host over a VPN. The user is running a DOS app in a DOS window on the server. Something has happened that has caused the response to degrade severely. For example, when typing it can take several seconds before the characters are echoed on th screen. If ...

Using version 1.01. I have two networks in two locations. One network A I can connect to any computer via the repeater. On network B I can connect directly but I can _never_ connect via the repeater. When I try to connect via the repeater the VNC Viewer Status dialog appears and and stays on the ...

What must I do to install the repeater as a service?

What causes the message "> WARNING: File Transfer is Disabled on the Remote Machine" to appear above the empty file list for the remote machine when I open file transfer?

What must I change to get file transfer to work?

I never tried to use Remote Desktop and UVNC at the same time. I have the same problem at this site on another computer running XP Home so there is no remote desktop as an alterative on that one.

A spyware scan did not help. It's a lot less expensive to buy a copy of PC Anywhere than it is to reinstall Windows.<g> I did not expect to find any spyware on this computer because the only thing it is used for is to allow the owner of the company to connect using remote desktop and run one app ...

The host is running UVNC 1.01 on WinXP SP2 with the firewall disabled. The UVNC server is installed as a service. The service starts automatically but the helper icon never appears in the tray. If I try to start the helper from the menu I do not get any error but the helper does not start. If I try ...

Thanks but I have 1.01 installed at two other sites where it is working fine with the plugin.

There is one think that is different at the site with the problem and that is that UVNC is running on a Win NT4 SP6a machine. Are there known problems with such an old version of Windows?

I just installed version 1.01 at the site where I have not been able to connect since upgrading from RC18. I still cannot connect. When I try to connect the VNC Viewer Status dialog shows Status: Negotiate Protocol Version... and it sits there forever. It never times out. It never reports an error ...

Sorry about the confusion. I disabled the AV software when testing to make sure it was not part of the problem. When I reread your message I interpreted "my machine" literally. :) The machines where I have the problem are at another site. The thing that is really frustrating is that RC18 worked on ...

Sorry but I do not understand how your first link relates to the problem. It discusses running the server from a batch file. Running the server from a batch file will not work, at least in my case, because the batch file will not execute until the user logs on. I must have the server running as a ...

Sorry about that. When I run the service helper I get the hour glass mouse cursor for a couple of seconds and that is all. No icon appears in the tray. Trying to open the Default Settings dialog still produces the error. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that running the service helper should ...

Well, I started this thread on July 7th and I still cannot find a solution. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and tried all of the other suggestions. On the machines where the problem occurs the services manager shows the service as installed and running but there is no icon in the ...

Thanks for the suggestion but that did not help. Still no icon. Still the same error message.

I uninstalled, deleted the UltraVNC directory, manually deleted all registry keys, reinstalled, rebooted, checked that the VNC service was running, tried to open the Server Defaults and I still get the same error message that an instance of WnVNC cannot be found.

Help!

I did use the option to clean the old registry entries during the installation of 1.0. I also uninstalled and reinstalled and used the clean registry option the second time. I still get the same erro. Are there instructions for cleaning the registry manually after uninstalling that I can try? Any ...

I have installed 1.0 on four XP Pro SP2 systems. Two had no problem. On the second two, the WinVNC service is running but there is no icon in the tray. When I selected Show Default Settings from the Programs menu I get the error message in the subject on both machines. There is no anti-virus ...
