Problem: Windows 7 and entering Administrator password

[Flexman]

I have a Problem: When UltraVNC is started in Windows 7 and I do something where Windows will ask me for the Administrator password then VNC crashes.

It works when Uvnc is installed as service but as far as I understand then it's running everytime the computer starts.

Is it possible to have it running as service but starting it only manually over a menu-icon?

Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.

Find uvnc_service and set its Startup type to "Manual".

[Flexman]

But is a "normal" user allowed to start it then or just the administrator?

[B]

Just an administrator. You couldn't install the service in the first place without admin rights.

But thats useless then.

Sure I install VNC as administrator but I will assist an user when he has problems with his computer so that he just has to start UVNC and I can connect and install things for example.

So this is a problem. Isn't there any chance to give the user rights to start this service?

You may use the Steel RunAs to solve this problem.

The whole point of a service is that it's a privileged system process, but you can grant particular users the right if you're very careful.

I would prefer to leave the service running and make sure it is secured.
