OK, Now I've read a bit of the archiives, ao with that and your help, William, I realize that the service helper probably came up.(I still websurf from WinME, yet have vnc & activesync, etc. with W2K in another partition, so I can't see it now.)
I wanted to use service helper to try to figure how to get the VAIO's VNC, installed as a server, to connect with the iPAQ pocket_pc's WinCE vnc viewer. I know of no other option, but have yet to search the archives on this. Also, is tightVNC more thoroughly explained for the complete idiot I occasionally see in the screen reflection, and with whom I seem to be stuck working? I have ATT's vncs in both now.
