Q. When I connect using VNC and then log into my Windows machine, I get 
disconnected and have to reconnect!

Sometimes logging in will involve a change in screen resolution, if the user's 
display settings are different from the defaults. If this happens, the server 
will disconnect you and you will need to reconnect to get the new screen size. 
Just occasionally on NT, the most seems to change resolution temporarily as you 
log in, and if WinVNC happens to see this you can also be disconnected, even if 
the final resolution changes. If the user has set a different display number in 
their personal WinVNC properties dialog you will also be disconnected.
