Lauren:
Heya. It sounds as the other PC's in your library simply
already had VNC installed on them, by an administrator-level user.
So installing VNC again as a non-administrator...it sounds like
you got the right error messages. :)
FWIW, there are many "VNC-helper" apps out there which are
designed to make a non-tech person's VNC-life easier. For example,
as an alternative to manually installing VNC on every PC in your LAN,
you can use the venerable FastPush scripts (http://www.darkage.co.uk).
With them, you can install VNC into a target PC "across the network".
The Kaboodle application (http://www.Kaboodle.org) can also do this,
plus it will automatically detect if a PC has a VNC Server running
already.
There's a list of such "helper apps" here:

Hope one or more of these help!
