George, What "authentication error" are you getting. Does it happen before or after you enter your password?
You may wish to reset your password. After you do you will have to restart WinVNC before the settings will take effect.

Maybe I should go retro! I just followed the installer, where there were no options for all/service and it got installed as a service. I'll see if I can download 3.3.3 R2 to see if that cures it.
