Switching Tasks Windows 7

Post by mogulman »

I have just started using UltraVNC (1.0.9.6). I have it running on a Windows 7 (32bit) and Windows 7 (64bit) computer. Except for 1 problem it seems to work ok. Say you have multiple copies of Excel running they will show up on the taskbar as several offset icons. You put your mouse over the icons and it will give you a list of instances running. You click on the desired instance and it brings it to the foreground. When I do this with UltraVNC viewer I can see the list showing up on the remote computer but the list does not show up on the viewer.

I did numerous searches on the forum and read the FAQ but could not see how to fix this.

Only one parameter ( capture alpha blending) , option server can have influence on this.
This parameter is needed on xp to see semi transparent windows, depending on your theme settings, it could also be needed on win7.

without aero, win7 behave as xp..

Thanks. That fixed it. This should be mentioned in the FAQ. Maybe it is and I missed it.
