RealVNC works for me, running Vista Home Premium x64....

I'll go and look at the website to see what's changed...

Have checked.. I'm running 4.1.2, which is part of the free download for server...

Works on my system so unless they've restricted it now then it should work...

How does the viewer run (without clicking the link), the thing which is perfect for me about VNC is the non-installed executable viewer which runs on whichever port I want (so I can fox IT)...

Wossi, have found the installer I used for the working version of VNC server on my system, drop me a PM with your e-mail and I'll zip it up and chuck it over if you want

The viewer can be either active-x or java. It is built into the website itself.

No use for me then, would be either blocked by Camden or I wouldn't be able to install the tools needed for it

I'll tell you now I can't, Camden locks down on everything

I can't even get onto BD now!

Good job I have RealVNC to stop me going completely mad
