WinVNC- Running VNC as a service on Win2k

[Mark Vinten]

What account is the VNC service using to run ?  Have you changed it from the
defaults?  It sounds a little like premission problems.  Maybe if you set
the VNC service to use your user account and password it will work.  

Also, have you tried to use the Remove VNC service and then Install VNC
service to make sure that it has the correct settinsg ?

I would like to add that on the same computer, if I stop VNC service and run
it again as a regular server it works.
May be it could help.

Thanks
