1. Run chkdsk on your disks.

2. Make sure realVNC is running as a service.

On a side note: I'd suggest you always logout before restart/shutdown.
Frequently there are apps asking for files to be saved, or some app hangs
and you can't log back in through VNC because a shutdown/reboot is in
progress.
