Hi Rudi,
I tried your suggestion and replaced the 1.0.9.5 authssp.dll with the 1.0.8.2 one and I can indeed connect then. However, I have to use the 1.0.8.2 viewer for this, since the 1.0.9.5 viewer does not work anymore once the older authssp.dll is installed. Also, FileTransfer does not work then either, among other things. - All in all, your suggestion sadly is no option, since it breaks more 1.0.9.5 functionality than it fixes.
Here's my request:
Could you please consider going back to VS2008 for compiling the 1.0.9.x code? Please remember that it is especially the W2K setups that need a fast and stable VNC application, much more than the newer WinOSs, since W2K does not even have RDP, whereas all newer OSs have RDP connectivity (at least in Pro versions).
If you move to VS2010 now and possibly not even for a real code/coding advantage, you would leave W2K behind from now on and for good, which would mean no more security and bug fixes, speedups, etc. for a lot of us who still have W2K machines, typically in small office setups like mine.
You would thus be doing many of us a massive favor if you would consider recompiling in VS2008 so that W2K is not left out. Needless to say I would gladly volunteer for testing this.
Regards,
Ingmar
