VNC Viewer screen disappears in full screen mode

[stevebond001]

Hi.
This is my first post here so apologies if it is in the wrong place.

I have installed UltraVNC (1.0.4 RC4) onto my Vista Workstation and the viewer onto my XP workstation. My XP box has dual monitors (one of which I want to use solely for my vnc connection).

I have finally managed to get the viewer to connect and log onto my Vista box, which shows my vista desktop in a window. However, whenever i try and view the Vista desktop in a full screen (on my second XP monitor) the screen just disappears and is not visible on this screen again until I revert it back to a windowed view. For information, when I try to maximise the window on my other (primary) XP monitor, it does actually show the vnc session full screen, although the actual desktop does not take up the full screen (and screen auto scaling is on)

Is this a bug in UltraVNC, or am i doing something wrong? I would really like to get this sorted as this is currently my only way of displaying Aero over a remote session (RDP does not allow for this with a XP client).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

I am having the same issue when I maximize a vnc session on my second screen. It will go black for a second and then disappear.

I have the same problem and here is my workaround.

Setup:
I have a secondary monitor connected to the vga port on my laptop running XP Pro. My unix workstation is running a tightvnc server. I start tightvnc viewer on my laptop, login, and move the window over to the secondary monitor screen. I click in the upper left corner of the window and select full screen. The window disappears and I'm left looking at the wallpaper.

Workaround:
Go to the start menu and click on the vnc viewer window button two times (first time minimizes, second time restores). Then I can see vnc full screen on the secondary monitor. It seems as if it was hiding behind the wallpaper.
