VNC Server Crashes After Windows Logon

[James Weatherall]

Trace,

Uninstalling VNC 4 just leaves your settings in the registry, which are not
shared with old VNC 3 installations and so won't affect them.  UltraVNC is
based upon the old VNC 3 system, so it may well conflict with the standard
VNC 3 server and more fundamentally it's not compatible with VNC.

The latest VNC Enterprise Edition release supports display of the try icon
only while a connection is active, if required, or you could check out the
VNC-based & VNC-compatible TightVNC project.

Cheers,
