SC in Vista windows 7

[Karmashock]

I'm struggling with SC in vista and Win7.

It often locks up after a minute of use, crashes, or is otherwise VERY unstable. Also, UAC tends to disable viewing or is view only and won't allow me to click "ok" through the connection.

I haven't made a new SC server in sometime.

Is there a solution to the problem?


Ideally, I would like SC to work as well in Vista/Win7 as it did in XP. Is this possible or do I have to abandon UVNC SC?


I can see some threads that seem to touch on the issue but it frankly is pretty confusing. Is there a cliffs notes to this problem? I need an updated/patched version of SC that doesn't have these problems or I need to use something else.


Thank you for any help you can offer and let me say regardless that I have enjoyed your software for years. It has been a tremendous help.

do you use the online creator in the bottom of the page ? (http://uvnc.com/pchelpware/sc/creator.html -> UltraVncSC update 2009)

i had issues until i recompile it with this
only problem i have is tha in some vista version, if i try to change the colros AFTER teh connetction established it crashes

Ideally, I'd like the program to force the user to elevate SC so it has admin access.

That said, I am using the 2009 version listed there. It still crashes like crazy on pretty much any vista or Win7 machine. Just unstable and slow.


I've got RealVNC running on some of these machines and that works fine but it requires installation and configuration.

Is there a script that elevates the app to Admin privileges or prompts the user to ok elevation? I suspect the UAC is half the problem with UVNC's compatibility.


I've also found that alternative viewers are more stable then the UVNC viewer for some reason. I'm using the realVNC viewer as listener and it tends to crash less.


Anyway, it looks like there are a lot of threads in this forum that discuss the issue. What I'm hoping for is a summary that tells you have to fix the problem without going through 100 pages of what if and trial and error.

since as you see there isnt much updates in SC, the problem will continue for some , time..

without "try and find" i dont think you can find an "easy" solution

you may use the two other available solutions for instaless support
ChunkVNC which is based on UltraVNC and PCHelpware (on uvnc.com too)

EDIT

forget to mentiom also SCPromt -> [topic=14809][/topic]

which is based on the new uvnc server (liek chunkvnc) but its more "SC drop in replacement" providing all + extrafeuterus incluting service install for UAC control
