I've just installed the WinVNC server (3.3.7, but downloading the 4.0b4 beta server didn't solve the problem) on a Win98 machine. It seems almost to work, but one notable exception appears when I try to run the "Freecell" game.
The first sign that there's a problem is that, when the VNC server is running and I start the game, instead of saying "Freecell Game" with the game number on the bar over the Window, I get a series of special characters (cent sign, upside-down question mark, etc.). I can still pull down the game's menus and deal, but when I do, the cursor changes to an hourglass and stays that way whenever it's over the game's window. Sometimes it displays what appears to be a full deal of the cards, but sometimes only a few cards are dealt. I can close the window, and it appears no permanent harm is done to the connection.
Another curious thing is that, unless I set the "Poll Full Screen" option, the cards only paint as I move the mouse over them.
I'm using the Solaris viewer from an Ultra 5 running Solaris 9, but I doubt that makes a difference, because I also tried the Java viewer with similar results (just slower!).
Can anybody tell me whether this is a known problem, previously unknown problem, or something I'm doing wrong? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
