Can't Restart or Shutdown Windows Using VNC - Was Working Earlier
I originally had VNC 3.3.3 and it worked perfectly for almost a year. My server machine is a Windows/2000 machine and my client machine is a Windows/XP Pro machine. In the past I have been able to do the ctrl/alt/del from the menu and then do a restart of the Windows/2000 machine from my XP machine without any problem. Of course, the client window would disappear because the server machine was in the process of rebooting. Very suddenly (and as far as I know, without any change occurring on the machine) this feature stopped working. Now, when I try to do a restart or even a logoff so that I could re-logon as a different user, my VNC client window disappears immediately (it feels like it goes away faster than it used to) and the restart or logoff never actually happens. This was in 3.3.3. I thought I'd switch over to realVNC 3.3.7. After doing that on both machines, I still get the same bad result. I can't reboot or logoff/logon that remote machine no matter what I try. I went through the archives and saw some vague references to this problem but no actual remedy for the situation. Why did this suddently start happening after successful use for over a year? How can I get it to work right again?

This was in 3.3.3. 1. Run chkdsk on your disks. 2. Make sure realVNC is running as a service. On a side note: I'd suggest you always logout before restart/shutdown. Frequently there are apps asking for files to be saved, or some app hangs and you can't log back in through VNC because a shutdown/reboot is in progress. ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

Did you make any changes to the settings (password, display number, etc.) right before it stopped working? -- William Hooper ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
