SC Listener problem win7

Post by Rimsey »

Hi, I'm having a problem with SC and win7 -I have used Ultra vnc and sc for years with XP and had no problems, however since upgrading to win7 a niggling error has manifested.

Obviously I have upgraded to the latest version of SC and viewer - the problem lies with the speed - I am using the shortcut switches for the viewer: "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -256colors -listen 10000

This works great to the point that I get a connection from SC etc etc - however I am 99.99% sure the connection is not 256 colours and as a consequence the connection is REALLY slow!!! (and I mean really slow)

When I look at the default connection properties of the listener is does not say 256 colours and I cannot seem to force it to do so.

Could anyone enlighten me?

thanks
Rim

missing: -noauto

"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -noauto -256colors -listen 10000

other solution, you can save a config.vnc to load with your vncviewer -listen -config filename.vnc

doc.uvnc.com
viewer commandline
