Accept Socket Connections: Option not applying.

[Sam Kader]

Bit stuck on this one and would really appreciate a solution, here i go :)

Usually i would connect to this win2kpro machine via realvnc. But the 
accept socket connections option remains unticked, even after ticking 
the box, typing the password and clicking apply or/and OK.

I re-installed realvnc with v4 and still the same thing.

I also tried TightVNC, with exactly the same thing.

I remotely scanned and found no viruses.

I know there is a heap of spyware! iexplorer will not open, it just crashes.
