WinVNC currently has a bug that shows up when it is used on Win9x
machines 
that are either slow, over a slow connection or high resolution/number
of 
colours. The affected system will quickly run out of system resources
and 
crash if the initial connection is not established fast enough. I have
also 
seen it happen during a session when there are a lot of big changes 
happening on the screen.

The problem does not affect systems running operating systems based on 
Windows NT technology such as NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and XP.

I would strongly suggest that you try TightVNC instead. It can be 
downloaded from the authors web site at http://www.tightvnc.com/. The 
author fixed most of the bug a while ago and recently fixed a speed
related 
issue that occurred as a result of the original fix. In addition, you
will 
find many nice extras included like high data compression, less bugs,
more 
flexible password configuration, prompt the user for permission to
connect, 
and more.

Alternatively you can wait until the bug is fixed in the next release of

WinVNC. I have not seen any time frame (this month, next month, next
year 
....). All I know is that the author of WinVNC has stated that the bug
will 
be fixed in the next release.

If you really want to stick with WinVNC for some reason, you may be able
to 
work around the problem by reducing the screen resolution, reducing the 
number of colours displayed on the screen and/or setting WinVNC to only
use 
8-bits (256 colours). These changes might be enough to establish your 
initial connection.
