Video Hook Driver Version?

Post by Schuss »

I believe 1.00.22 has been the only Hook Driver version of mv2.dll for years regardless of O.S.

I think this confuses people when the Hook fails to init at the start of a connection.

I know the Hook Driver often just plain confuses people (me included).

You will notice it is working fine despite the contradictory dialog box title.
It is the Server properties that usually keep the Video Hook from loading.
Less often it is color depth (S/B 16 or 32).
I can't locate a document that provides more guidance.
I've been using VNC in many variants since it was a lab project in the U.K.
Ironically, it seems to have less documentation over time.
I've never been willing to expend the time to become more than a rank novice.
I just mindlessly pound on the options till it rises from the dead.
I also close the server from the System Tray after making changes (if setup as a service) and let it automatically restart.

Good Luck! :tomato:
