UltraVNC

Rudi and Redge:

After switching to the instrumented build, I didn't get any more crashes
for a few days. That's not surprising, since I only got a few crashes
in the first place.

However, uvnc is now unusable with my old 4.1.1 viewer because it
never redraws the screen to update the colormap ...

Ok - I followed the link and downloaded the winvnc10951h files to my
Vista machine. (It was painful - the McAfee system intrusion protection

I'm not really sure what you are asking, but yes, the UltraVNC server is
running as a service on my Vista machine.

so I won't be able to check out the suggestions for a few days.

I'll get back to you then.

Ok - silly me. I finally realized that there is an option in the Admin
Properties to log debug infos.
