I understand and I joined on Monday and Did a search of archives and found it talked about tons of times. I'm not trying to be a dic*, just having a search button is no good if peoples don't use it. That is all . And it is the same problem, so my work around is don't use remote desktop if I can lol. I use VNC as it is more common and easy to just run the viewer. Sorry If I came across as a pecker ,lol did not mean to

The problem I encountered was with MS Terminal Services but that is probably the same problem. I think saying "Guys this has been talked about like a thousand times" is a little bit of an exaggeration. I joined this list a few weeks ago and made a posting about it because I searched the FAQ and could find nothing (maybe that is just a reflection on the FAQ). "JP" may have joined recently too and may have gone trough the same steps as I did. -----Original Message----- From: DILATED_ONE [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 11:02 AM To: 'Alan Watchorn'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: SelectObject to CompatibleDC failed / Black viewer window Guys this has been talked about like a thousand times. If you are running remote desktop , it takes over the console session and VNC cant connect. You can use one or the other OR, log into your system and leave it unlocked and VNC will work but as soon as you use remote desktop it takes the console and vnc wont work again after that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Watchorn Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: SelectObject to CompatibleDC failed / Black viewer window Jan, I get this exact error too when I use VNC and RDP on the same system, but not the black window - it just gives the error and goes no further. (RDP is the protocol used by MS Terminal Services and Remote Desktop). It connects okay but the error message comes up when you specify the password (I have my system setup to request a username and password). I haven't been able to figure out quite what the combination is (everything in VNC is at the default setting, no parameter settinfs like you have) but I know I get the error if I use RDP and then try to use VNC - every time. The workaround I have come up with is using one or the other, but not both RDP and VNC on the same system. In my case the remote system is not running Win2003 but WinXP Pro.

When resized the screen is black. The connection is tunneled via SSH. VNC Server is only listening to local connections on port 5900 Running the viewer with somebody logged in on the server is working fine. Viewer connects without problems. Same result on 3 different systems. Any suggestions or ideas ?
