There is a hack to get through this problem. On the other hand, file sending takes so much CPU attention, so the system gets unstable. When receiving a file from a server everything works fine. Check device manager for that as well.Īfter some time spent with Ultra VNC it appears the client has a bug related to the file transfers. I ended up setting a forced configuration for the video adaptor in device manager. Last, I had initial issues with the display resolution spastically reseting to 640 X 480 on bootup. These can be enabled/disabled thru the ui - right click Desktop ->Graphics Optionsīut they are already resident so best testing may require disabling them thru msconfig & reboot. I have a dozen or so of these in the form of Dell Dimension 2400 desktops all running W98SE.Īlso 2 resident programs come with the default driver t to run startup via HKLM/run.Ī tray icon (igfxtray.exe) and a hot hey monitor (hkcmd.exe ?). Intel 82845G (driver version: 4.) (see Mijzelf's comment). No VNC help but, I can confirm no visible support for 24 bit colordepth in Still, it looks like some kind of a general video driver incompatibility, or something. Since I do not have a good access on those two I was unable to test for all possibilities. So far, I was able to observe the problem on just two different computers running Windows 98. Intel 82865G Graphics Controler (driver version: 4.) Intel 82845G Graphics Controler (driver version: 4.) Is there any other VNC software worth considering? I can not count on the TightVNC development team to remove the bugs, apparently. So, I've decided to look through the available free alternatives, again.

The newest TightVNC 2 does not work in Windows 98. Windows 98 hangs during reboot, if there is an active connection with VNC server. does not work on Windows 98 with Intel 845/865 graphics chipsets (I had no opportunity to test it in the field) works fine on slow connections (very reliable) java client does not support capital national characters java client does not support file transfers no proper support for the national characters the file transfer function is not compatible with TightVNC 1.3.10 client requires KernelEX to function with Windows 98

does not work with the generic VGA driver

the client freezes on slow connections, when the whole desktop has to be updated
