Mirror Driver does not run [solved]

Post by Chaka »

Edit: The problem was solved using v1.2.2.2


I did have problems to get the mirror driver running. The systray popup for winvnc says always "Server - service - schook" and "Check the Mirror Driver" says "Driver found: version ok - 1.00.22 driver Current Not Active (viewer not connected ?)". WinVNC.log says "Start Mirror driver -> newer version for windows required -> vncdesktop.cpp : Start Mirror driver/ddegine Failed -> vncdesktop.cpp : Using non driver mode".
I never get the popup saying "Server - service - driver" nor does the screen go in basic video mode.

I've tried very much so far but without any luck. :|
I'm running WinVNC v1.2.2.1c under "Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-Bit".
I mentioned my problems already here and tried Rudis hint.
I used that settings and tried running in application mode with admin rights, too.
I tried both mirror drivers v1.00.22 (separate download) and 1.00.23 (shipped with UltraVNC_1_2_10_X64_Addons.exe), ifaik booth should work.
The driver is installed says the device manager.
Newer windows versions can use desktop duplication but with "Windows Server 2008 R2" I have to stick with the mirror driver, right?

Btw. what means:
Start winvnc "runas admin" to able to activate the driver. How do I activate it then?
What means "newer version of windows" within the WinVNC.log. Have I to update some windows component?

some WinVNC.log content:
