Check the task manager on your notebook to see what is causing the CPU
usage. I'd bet it's kernel CPU usage (i.e. the CPU usage bar will mostly
be red), and that it's caused by some sort of problem with your operating
system drivers.

The VNC Viewer for Java currently supports only 256 colours, for
compatibility reasons. We do plan to add higher colour support in a future
release.
Note that this is a limitation of the Java Viewer only - native VNC Viewers

Pedro,
No, this is not supported by the standard VNC releases, which are designed
specifically to ensure that the local user is aware of their presence.

VNC Viewer will only run when there are incoming updates to be processed.
This will be the case if your remote desktop is changing rapidly, for
example. VNC Viewer 3.3.7 will tend to consume more CPU, because it uses a

No need to get cocky. It's all in how your firewall is setup. Most

Yes, that is correct. Windows 95/98 and Me lack the required operating

Thanks for spotting that!

If the two ends of the connection are both behind NAT routers then, without

So, in fact, there is a degree of configuration required at at least one end
(in order to allow the incoming connection through the NAT), and so this

A pulsating cursor shouldn't keep VNC Viewer noticably loaded at all! It
