Hey guys,

How can I run the Server mode automatically when i reboot in safe mode if Im away from the computer?

I have to rely on user to start Server off once in safe mode, but i dont want that!

Thanks for advice

Under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot
in the registry you should find the keys Minimal and Network. Perhaps you will want to use the network abilities when starting UVNC, so I recommend this key ...

Copy the UVNC keys (the one/two for the driver and one for the service) from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
to the above mentioned key. This will then start UVNC in safe mode. I recommend to change this setting only for one safe-mode configuration (i.e. "Network") to have access to the system in case something goes wrong for the "Safeboot with network" option.

VNCScan can make this very easy for you. Just a FYI.

Install UltraVNC in normal mode as a service, configure, and test. Once all is working you can enable Safe Mode use by

Open a CMD window Start>Run>CMD

Then paste:

REG COPY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\winvnc HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\winvnc /s /f

This will enable UltraVNC in Safe Mode as described in previous post.

Maybe this will help in combination with TC's registry edit. I found this FREE program called BootSafe just yesterday, but I haven't gotten around to testing it:

I also haven't tried to make an auto-connecting version of SC, but this BootSafe program sounds like it would be helpful, anyway.

If you want to run SC in Safe Mode check out SCSafe

When I run the above Reg Copy I get an error saying:
"Error: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value"

What do I need to do to get it in the registry.

I do have UltraVNC installed and running in XP Pro.

Thank you,

I almost got this working. I have ZoneAlarm installed on this PC. After following the above instructions I couldn't connect with UltraVNC. ZoneAlarm wasn't running. When I manually started ZoneAlarm I was able to connect. How can I automatically start ZoneAlarm when it boots into SafeMode?

Thank you,
