Viewer displaying in black and white

Post by Skinney46 »

I am using version 1.0.1 UltraVNC with the mirror driver on several Windows Server 2003 machines. Recently when connecting the viewer to one of the servers, the viewer display was black and white instead of colour. Restarting the VNC server fixed it, but I would like to know what could of caused this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris.

Colour issue

Post by Skinney46 »

I have also noticed that occasionally the viewer seems to interpret colours incorrectly, recently a yellow on the server was appearing green on the viewer. Does anyone know what could cause this? Is there some sort of dynamic colour change based on the speed of your connection to the server?

Thanks.

change the viewer quickoption auto to any other you prefer to stop codec swap

black and white ?
you started your vncviewer with command line or opened a configfile.vnc ?

I also have this problem. It is not a viewer problem as far as I can tell. I turned off auto and selected full color but it is still black and white (when you open new menus or move them mouse on the screen you can see its color for a split second then back to black and white) only thing that fixes this for me is a reboot of the computer and it usually take a few weeks for it to happen again. I have tried different poling settings in the server and disabling the mirror driver but none of that helped. I have also tried different VNC viewers and it is the same.

I am using 1.0.1 UltraVNC with the mirror driver on windows 2000 Pro with an ATI video card (I have also had this happen when I had a NVIDIA Video card installed

Is there a 1.0.2 or 1.0.3 version out there that I can try to see if I have this problem with that version I know the older (below 1.0.0) did not do this but I forget the exact version number.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I logged in using medium option and it became colour, I then immediately logged out and in again using Auto and it stayed colour. However I am quite sure that this did not work last time because I'm sure I tried almost every option.
