VNC on Windows 2000 professional

[Steve Palocz]

This sounds like a registry problem
Current user vs local machine (default) vnc settings.

Easiest way to fix if this is the issue.

First make sure vnc is running
Open regedit
Navigate to 

Hkey_current_user/software/orl/winvnc3
See if you have contents here. If so delete the winvnc3 folder.
Next run winvnc -defaultsettings (note the title at the top) or navigate
from start_button, programs, realvnc, vnc server, show default properties.

Set the password.

Next restart winvnc either by service or reboot.

And all should be fine.

I've been wrestling with this too.  I tried several things which seemed to 
make a difference, only to have the problem reappear.  In my case the 
machines are always logged in, but I have the login screen saver set to 
come up.  When that happens, sometimes, I see the behavior you 
described.  I can't access the machine through VNC until I login again, 
then it works like it's supposed to.  My machines are always logged in with 
admin rights, so I don't think that's it.  I can't make the problem happen.

Hopefully someone else has already figured this out!
