Yeah... It was TigerVNC (an off shoot of TightVNC) that said that on their mailing list. I get no errors, I just can't connect. I wonder if I can pull the logs off the system from remote. Hmm... looks like I cannot connect... RPC server unavailable. :-( Guess that's another thing I'll have to look into when I go to enable RDP.

I can only speak for Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 but we installed VNC (including the server portion) with no problems on several desktops and have upgraded the VNC version several times since then (which uninstalls/reinstalls the server portion). Works like a dream for remote maintenance. What errors (check logs) do you get when you try and start the VNC server service from the start menu? Try "Run as administrator" when installing? -- Peter van Houten On the 28/07/2009 16:21, John Aldrich wrote the following: > Im trying to figure out how to do a couple things on a Windows 7 box: > > 1) I want to remotely admin / access a Windows 7 box that I built from a > spare machine.
