Confirmed on Server 2008 x64 Remote Desktop.

It seems that the fix for the dual monitor issue also solves this issue. I'll get another release out the door with some of the latest bug fixes.

In the mean time here is what you need to do:

1) Open SRC\InstantSupport_Files\ultravnc.ini

2) Find these values:
PollForeground=0
PollFullScreen=1
PollUnderCursor=0
EnableHook=0

3) Change them to this:
PollForeground=1
PollFullScreen=0
PollUnderCursor=1
EnableHook=1

3) Compile again. :)

I had assumed that it was related to my connect/disconnect issue so I didn't report it. I have an unattended notebook that I'm currently configuring... between the disconnect issue and the screen issue, it was taking (sometimes) 10x to connect :-(

I just did the changes on the remote machine and had it reboot. Now I'm connecting with only the occasional disconnect issues documented previously.

This has made a major difference for my connections.
I now connect... sometimes the first time but certainly by the third tine.

Interesting that it makes such a difference for you.
Since it no longer doing full screen refreshes I wonder if your luck is because less data is being transferred.

Who needs an explanation anyways, it just works better is good enough for me. :)
