I use both Microsoft Terminal Services and VNC to log into an XP system remotely from a WinME system. Sometimes VNC fails to authenticate with an error which says "VNC Viewer : Error/SelectObject to CompatibleDC failed. The parameter is incorrect" - (connects okay to computer but error happens during authentication).
I tried several scenarios and the one which fails is when I try to use VNC after TS. If I log in locally to XP, it works okay with VNC after TS. If I log in remotely using Microsoft Terminal Services and then try to log in with VNC I get the error. When you log in via MS TS, it takes control of the terminal; when you log out of TS, it locks the terminal and you have to enter CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in again. If you have a local session (not via TS) and log out you have to enter CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in again but you can log in fine via VNC. My conclusion is that the logout in the TS case and the local log out are slightly different and that is enough to throw VNC off. Has anyone got a workaround for this problem? Alan.
