I've been using the EchoVNC Viewer on Vista Business for the last month or so without problems. I have all kinds of other problems with Vista, but EchoVNC continues to perform well for me in all environments. I've also used InstantVNC on Vista with success. In fact this email is being composed on a Vista machine running InstantVNC and being controlled by the EchoVNC viewer running on Windows/XP. My Echo Server in all these cases runs on a Windows/XP machine. I have not tried it on Vista.

In fact, a very motivated development partner worked very closely with us for several months, making sure that everything they needed for Vista made it into this release. However. :) Vista is awful: there are many flavors (Home, Biz, Ultimate...), many options (fast-user switch, UAC...), modified security modes (CAD popups cannot be remoted by a non-priv'd process) and even "themes" inside of the flavors that wreck havoc with trying to insure VNC compatibility. It's so bad, it's beyond intentionally bad. Our last-ditch solution was the "compatibility mode" of EchoVNC, such that non-EchoVNC Viewers *and* Servers can still be used in conjunction with EchoVNC. So just in case someone (e.g., RealVNC, which retails a commercial version) solves the Vista-compatibility issue, EchoVNC can still help establish those connections. That being said...I would enjoy hearing what the direct experiences of EchoVNC users are, in regards to Vista. Not that many people ever post to this list. :) cheers, Scott On Mon, 28 Jan 2008, Steve Sobol wrote: > > Scott, > > How well does EchoVNC work with Vista?
