Black screen when connecting to win2k server machine

[eomer]

Hi all,

I am trying to connect to a win2k server sp4 machine with VNC, using a local user.

Connection seems ok, but when I connect while there is no user logged on the machine, I get a black screen...

If I connect with the local user, being connected on the machine with my regular user, everything works fine...

Any clue on what I have done wrong? (I am using v1.0.0 RC11 viewer on my xp desktop, and RC17 on the win2k server machine)

Thank's in advance,

Nicolas

Could be that is has to do something with

Is it a Terminal server ?

No I don't think it is the source of the problem, both default and user settings are aligned.

Actually when I use password auth en both user and default settings, it works fine, having someone logged on the server or not. I only have that black screen using the mslogon mode. But I can for example use the file transfer ...

Could the different version of viewer and server cause this?

This problem is typically caused by a Terminal/Remote Desktop server running on the same machine than Ultra WinVNC.
Users have to make a choice on the server:
- Remote Desktop access
OR
- UltraVNC access

I've seen that once on a Win 2003 server and I can't for the life of me remember what I did which solved it. I haven't seen it happen at all with the Test 18 WinVNC, mirror drivers, and latest viewer, even with RDP enabled on the server.

Can be the cause! I do have a remote admin server running on that machine as well...

I'll do some tests and come back!
