"saving your settings" on Win2000

I am using the latest version of TightVNC 1.2.8 and
everytiime I shutdown/restart windows 2000 with the
server running in the system tray...Windows would be
stuck at the screen where it says "saving your
settings".  It would stay at that screen for about 20
seconds before my computer would restart/shutdown.  To
test this, I closed tightvnc and then
shutdown/restart.. the saving your settings only takes
a couple of seconds.  I tried running RealVNC server
when I shutdown and this problem doesn't exist so I'm
sure it's tightvnc causing this.  I closed/left
tightvnc running before I shutdown/restart to make
sure that it's in fact tightvnc causing this.  Anyone
else have this problem?

BUGREPORT: font smoothing not restored after client disconnect


Hello,

I came across the following bug in vncDesktop.cpp of TightVNC version
1.2.8:

// *** Get the FontSmoothing value - Jeremy Peaks
RegQueryValueEx(checkdetails,
		"FontSmoothing",
		NULL,
		(LPDWORD) &valType,
		(LPBYTE) &inouttext,
		(LPDWORD) &slen);	// *** Just in case font smoothing was disabled, re-enable it now
		// *** - Jeremy Peaks
		if ((valType == REG_SZ) &&
		inouttext[0] == '1')) {
			SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, TRUE, 0, SPIF_SENDCHANGE);
		}

The check for (inouttext[0] == '1') should be replaced with:

 (atoi(inouttext) > 0)

as Windows XP has multiple font smoothing types (i.e., setting
the font smoothing to ClearType causes inouttext[0] to have a value of '2').

The net result is that after the client disconnects, the font smoothing is
not set back to its previous state. I believe this is only an issue in
Windows XP.

Yes, it's a well known bug of version 1.2.8.

This should be corrected in 1.3.0 and perhaps 1.2.9 if I remember some post
from Constantin.

screen updating

I am using the latest version of Tightvnc.  Here's my
scenerio:  having a conversation on aol instant
messenger, when the "up and down bar with arrows" on
the right shows up then i type messages, the screen
won't show the message i just entered.  I have to
press the down arrow to see the current messages
shown.  Is there anything I can do so I don't need to
do that to see if the other person typed back or when
I entered text.  Hope you guys know what I mean, don't
know how to explain it better.

suggestion

Is it possible to add an option that plays a sound
whenever the remote user pressed the left and/or right
mouse buttons and double click?  It would be very
useful.  

I can't wait for the file transfer option to be
implemented.  A question regarding the file transfers,
can both sides receive/send files from/to each other
and happening simultaneosly (both sides receiving
files from each other)  The file transfers will be
very useful for those people that can't connect to
each other due to firewalls, I'm assuming that as long
as teh user is connected to a remote server, file
transfers will work flawlessly.  Keep up the great
work!

Sound Trouble

Hey Guys,

I have a tcl/tk application running on a linux box. This tcl/tk application
executes a "bell" in a loop when there is an alarm generated. when I use a
vnc server/viewer its all working fine and good. But when the alarm is
playing (bell) and I close the vncviewer (exit using the "x") and then I am 
not
able to connect to that session again.

The following error is displayed:

Unknown VNC authentication result:  33686018

As a test, I took out the bell command in my tcl/tk and did the same
experiment, it works fine! I could close and reopen the viewer

Anyone know why this is happening? and if you guys know any fix for it..
please let me know.

Thanks,

Peter

Multiple Windows opening on connect?

Just wondering if anyone could help with this strange problem. I believe I 
have everything setup correctly as I am able to connect. Trouble starts on 
connection. I logged in from my work to my home PC. All I could see was 
window, after window of my home desktop open. The mouse of course was 
unmanageable with all the multiple windows so I was forced to disconnect. I 
tried once more and it happened again. Any suggestions as to what is wrong 
and what I can tweak to fix? Thanks much.
