I don't remember if I tried the Alt key explicitly. That and it still leaves the matter of the keyboard being completely incapacitated both at the client and server level. Anyhow, it's hard to diagnose the problem since I am not connected to anyone via VNC, let alone experiencing the problem :-(
Thanks for the help, though. -----Original Message----- From: James Weatherall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 10:08 AM To: Michael Chadwick; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Curious input problem when using VNC 4.0 Viewer Does pressing and releasing the Alt key help at all?
