Current driver to old

[Guest]

For months I always get the message "Current driver to old. Update driver or disable Video hook driver in the server properties window."

The "Check the Video hook driver" says:
vncdrv.dll 1.00.18
vnccom.sys 1.0.0.17
vncdrv.sys 1.0.0.17

Driver EXIST
Communication service EXIST
Driver current not ACTIVE.

I use UltraVNC 19.2!

I already uninstalled the hook driver, rebooted, installed it again and rebooted my machine several times. Still the same error message after every reboot.

Why?

After uninstalling the driver and reboot (special on w2k)
Check via the device manager if the driver is realy uninstalled.
"setupdrv uninstall"

Sometimes the old driver refuse to uninstall, unless you kick him
via the device manager.
If the driver stay available with (!)
and you install the new driver "setupdrv install"
He install a new, but also fix the (!), final you have 2 drivers.

If the account you are testing with has no access to the registry,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\SERVICES\vncdrv\DEVICE0]
"Attach.ToDesktop"=dword:00000000
The use is not capable of turning the driver on. In that case you need to change the permissing for this key and make it writable for all.

Hopes it help

Hi Rudi,

thanks for your answer.

I solved the problem: There was an old (1.00.17) vncdrv.dll in the UltraVNC directory. Obviously something used that version instead of the one in c:\windows\system32.

After I deleted vncdrv.dll in the program directory the video hook driver now works correctly.
