On the same LAN, or over a wireless connection, meters are very fluid! That's the very reason why I picked the Ultr@vnc server over any other server. It also beat's TightVNC's video driver hands down, with a much lower bandwidth usage in the same heavy graphic-use conditions, with a ratio 5 or so. > > That being said... > > I have had times when the server got "stuck", after a wireless connection broke. I can't connect to the server anymore, though I have reconnected at the TCP/IP level. So I try to quit & restart the server, but in the case I am talking about, this doesn't work. Then I try to kill the server using the TaskManager. Doing so, and only doing so, I often got good old blue screens. This is not a corner case: I had it happen to me without looking to reproduce it at least 5 times... > > Does anyone have an idea as of why killing the VNC Server with the TaskManager could ever cause a blue screen?... > The only way I have ever been able to fix a hung Ultr@VNC is to use pskill from psutils (www.sysinternals.com) to kill the process. Then I use psservice to restart it.
