| | RE: Vista appears to be preventing a password being set VNC. I don't have the message here but it is something to the effect of password can't be set unless you are an administrator, which I was on that machine.

| | RE: Vista appears to be preventing a password being set Figures. VNC is not exactly known as the pinnacle of security, which is why the majority of organizations ban it from use. I'm not surprised it is not Vista compatible. Sounds to me like VNC must be run as an admin then. Remember, in Vista under UAC you are not an admin. Right-click the executable and select "Run as administrator...". Then try the same operation. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Joe C" wrote: Quote: > VNC.
