Screen size issue / Screen Clipping UltraVNC viewer

Post by gfejer »

I just upgraded to UltraVNC 1.1.9.0 64 bit and am having difficulty with the screen size not being displayed correctly.
This did not happen prior to the upgrade and the only change was the UVNC viewer. Unfortunately, I am not certain of the previous version,but I had not updated it in at least 2 years.

Server is running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit with SP 1
VNC server is TightVNC Server 2.0.2

Client is running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with SP1
VNC viewer is UltraVNC Win32 Viewer 1.9.0

Upon connecting to server, the viewer shows up in a window that is about 1440x900 (just fits on laptop screen) with scrollbars on the side and bottom. The screen resolution of the machine running the server is 1680x1050. If I expand the viewer window (main monitor resolution is 1920x1200) the scroll bars shrink, but not all of the remote desktop is displayed. Black bars cover the right and bottom of the remote display. It appears that only 1440x900 of the remote screen is displayed.

Tightvnc viewer does not have this problem and neither did my previous version of UltraVNC.

The viewer use fixed screen sizes on start, if the screen is expanded after viewer start it use as "maxsize" the primary monitor.
If you want to run the viewer on the seconday monitor, just select that monitor ( viewer options) or the bounding size.

You need to select the monitor you want to use as the viewer monitor on startup of the viewer.
Or
select the directx option ( via options.. button) , then all is scaled and you don't have the scrollbars.
