winvnc admin properties

Enable Blank Monitor on Viewer Request (check box activated)
Disable Only Inputs on Blanking Request (check box disabled)

winvnc must be restarted after change !

background.bmp must be a true bitmap picture ! (Not just renamed file)

but you can rename true existing known bitmap picture to background.bmp

maybe you have wrong ultravnc.ini

close winvnc and stop uvnc_service
rename ultravnc.ini old-ultravnc.ini
start winvnc
winvnc would ask you set the 2 password

password
1. full control (vnc password)
2. viewonly

set all your others settings.
OK

Anyone getting this to work? Seems to work when run manually but when run as a service the Blank Screen Button does nothing? Was working before upgrading but I think I skipped a few versions so may not have been the last version before 1.0.8.0.

Hi! fastt81,

Your issue looks like an old bug, and may be not eliminated on 1.0.8.2. You may take a look of following thread for reference.
[topic=14838][/topic]
[topic=12319][/topic]

Base on the reported symptom, looks like the issue only appear when the Video Hook Driver is enabled (at UVNV server).
If you have the Video Hook Driver enabled too, try to switch it off and see if the problm can be eliminated.

Would you please advise the OS of the server running on (XP/Vista; 32/64 bit), the CPU (AMD/Intel). Just want to collect more info to see if this problem related to a special condition.
