I don't know of any VNC-specific fixes regarding this issue. However, there /is/ a Windows XP-specific fix: 1) *DO NOT* use the 'Welcome Screen' 2) *DO NOT* use 'Fast User Switching' 3) *DO NOT* use 'Remote Desktop' (I am not sure if 1 and 2 are completely necessary) So, in essence, all I can recommend is to forget about using Remote Desktop, or to forget about using VNC -- they currently can't coexist. Maybe this issue will be resolved by the time version 4 has gone gold. It seems to me that the reason this happens is because the Remote Desktop session changes the screen geometry, but doesn't revert it back to the normal user's resolution until *after* they log back in; so when the RD session is finished, the geometry is in limbo mode. It has been my experience that after the normal user continues his/her interactive session, VNC will connect without any problems. -Adam _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
