I think I have tracked down the problem. The properties box sets the registry values OnlyPollConsole OnlyPollOnEvent BUT it seems VNC looks for the keys PollConsoleOnly PollOnEventOnly If I set the second set of keys manual things work. This bug may be fixed in later versions, however I am stuck with r2. Later versions seem to generate a lot more network traffic which interferes with one of our applications which uses socket messages.

Some additional information. The problem is restricted to the right column ('Poll Console Windows Only' or 'Poll On Event Received Only'). When either 'Poll Foreground Window' and/or 'Poll Window Under Cursor' are selected (which activate the right column options) it does not mater what which boxes you click on the right, if you hit ok and then re-open the properties 'Poll Console Windows Only' is selected regardless of what you wanted. The registry keys OnlyPollConsole and OnlyPollOnEvent get set properly, they are just ignored. Thanks, Michael ---- I looked through the manuals and mail archive but did not see this problem reported. Since it is a rather annoying problem I would have expected someone to report it. This leads me to believe it is something local to our setup. Either way I open to suggestions on how to fix this. I am running VNC 3.3.3 r2 (more recent releases interfere with one of our critical programs so we can't use it) Win NT, service pack 5 (or 6) Login administrator or user The problem is I can't get changes to the VNC properties to 'stick' nor can I change the defaults. I even tried editing the registry settings directly. This did not work. The WinVNC app always comes up with the same property settings (the ones that were selected on installation). I can change them but when I close the properties window it defaults back to what they were before (even for the current session). I have to leave the properties window up for my changes to take effect. I have tried using the VNC->Administrative Tools->Show Default Settings panel to change them as well. Any help would be appreciated.
