VNC Service problems

[stuart taylor]

Searched a found a few close to this but not quite.
I'm having a couple of problems with starting the VNC service

1. It dosen't like to run as a service (windows 2000). This is happening on 
two of my systems. what happens is  that when ran as a service that 
automatically starts. windows will report the service as running however 
when you try to connect to the service you'll get an error as if it wasnt 
running.  If you try to stop the serive it will hang at unloading.  If you 
have it installed as a service and manualy start it works just fine.  The 
happens even on my laptop which use to run VNC from a autostart service just 
fine (on a different install of 2000 however)

2. Either having VNC running as service or just a program it tends to ignore 
some settings.  Most noticable is that it takes away the wallpaper on 
connect or disconnect. This is set not to do this in the program (default 
settings) and in the registry.

3. I've found at least on my laptop that I can't bring up the current user 
settings when ran as a service (the current users settings is currently 
unabaliable) I can do this with the only system that is running it right.

Sorry for this long letter.  The things these systems have in common is that 
they are running widows 2000 sp4 first had VNC 3.3.7 then switched to vnc 
3.3.6.  The problem started with 3.3.7 as the first of vnc on the system.  
Vnc was uninstalled before it was reinstalled.

Help!!!
