This one is driving me crazy and I really hope someone has some help out there!
I have been using VNC for several years now without a problem. I recently noticed that it is not functioning properly and I updated client/server to see if it fixed it but it did not. Here is what it is doing: I can connect to any of my numerous hosts just fine. If I want to open a folder, say on the desktop, I HAVE to right click and select open. No big deal but here is where it gets weird: Once open, I CANNOT close it and neither can the person on the server side! I have checked the settings for server-side (disable local inputs) and it is NOT checked. Once this happens, neither user can close anything. Either side can open whatever they want but cannot close it! The only solution I have found is to have someone on the server side open up task manager..once it is opened, they can close all of the open windows and then it seems to function fine from there on out...they do not have to actually "end task" anything..merely open it up! VERY WEIRD. I did notice that if I connect to a 3.3.7 host it works fine. (I am using the current viewer) So I tried using 3.3.7 on both sides but it exhibits the same weirdness. Please help!

It sounds like you're running a TightVNC viewer binary instead.
