Made a little further progress with this, though success not yet achieved. 1. There is a window that says 'connection successful' along its bottom edge (it was concealed by the window asking for the password). 2. It has worked once, with a black-and-white window, which would be perfectly usable for turning the RPC off. Subsequent attempts go back to the original black window. 3. VNC doesn't always work between the RPC and the Win7 machine - this needs further investigation by me. -- Philip Draper Philip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/armini-support List-related queries to info@xxxxxxxxxxxx
