Somewhat familiar with XP. I admin a couple XP Pro desktops. I have not had
the "pleasure" of using Fast User Switching and only used Remote Desktop to
connect to another XP PC, never having used RD to connect to either of my
two PCs.
As for running as a service, go to start ->control panel (or start
->settings->Control Panel)->Administrative Tools ->services and make sure
VNC Server is set to automatic.
If there is no VNC Server service listed there, you'll have to "install" the
service as it did not get installed as a service. I suspect that 1) there
will be no "VNC Server" listed and/or 2) it will be set to "disabled."
Again, double-check that VNC is allowed through the XP firewall (even if you
think you have it disabled) and any other firewalls you may have running.

NO... you cannot just put an icon in the startup folder. It HAS to be
running as a SERVICE under Windows.... just putting it in the startup
folder
is not the same thing. You HAVE to use the "service install" option...
either when installing VNC or by going to the start menu, VNC and using
the
"install service".

Hi John
I originally installed VNC on all machines and set them to run in
service mode (icon in Start Up folder)
One of my main tasks involves e-mail accounts setup.
The bit that doesn't work is the connection staying alive.
It may work with fast user switching enabled, but with it disabled it
does not seem to work.
Even with an admin account I cant log-off and log-on to another account.
I have to go to work so will try again tonight and then get back to you
Thanks
Alex D

Ok. What part doesn't work? You may have to get someone with admin
priveleges to log in and do this, as it may not work unless you have
administrator priveleges.

Ok. I just installed the Real VNC4 (we use TightVNC here, which is based
on
the VNC3.x sources, etc.) Under start menu, "RealVNC" folder, there
should
be another folder labeled "VNC Server 4 (service mode)". Select
"Register
VNC Service" and then you'll want to run "configure vnc service" if it
doesn't do it automagically.

Yes. That's exactly what running in service mode does. All "user" apps
are
closed when the user logs off, and since VNC in service mode is run as
an
"administrative" app, it does not shut off.

HI all
Thanks for that.
How does running it in service mode help me ?
Does it keep the connection alive during logoff/login ?
