K-VNC works fine for us on RC1 as well. You could always try a "netsh firewall reset" and then follow the wizards.

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: > I���m 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.
