connection problem

[Mike Dowling]

Winvnc has to be installed as a service in order to be able to use the C-A-D
function. I initially installed it as a program and tried the C-A-D function
from the viewer and noticed that it did not do anything. I read the instructions
and discovered the procedure.

1. Open a Command Prompt
2. cd\Program Files\ORL\VNC
3. winvnc -install

You should see messages indicating a successful install of WINVNC as an
NT service that will automatically start when the server is rebooted.

4. net start winvnc

This will start WINVNC (an icon will appear in the system tray).

On the first start it will display an options window. Type in a password
in the proper field and click OK.

No, didn't try it as a service, but will give it a go when i see my server
sometime early next week.  Is that a known problem?
