Hi, We have recently upgraded our version of VNC Manager Std from version 4 to the latest release. We use Tight VNC on the clients.

When using version 4 everything worked fine on all Windows 2008/2008 R2 servers and all 600 Windows 7 Service pack 1 workstations.

Now that we have upgraded to the latest release, we have noticed that when we VNC onto either a server or workstation the background

goes brown and is very blocky. If we reduce the colour depth to 256 colours then we loose the blocky background but have a poor

VNC experience. If we go back to the original version 4 then all works fine again. Is there something in the latest version that we could change

to stop the poor colour depth problem?

Are you seeing the same problem if you would try to use a native VNC viewer?


Regards,

Yes and across all platforms.

That's what I was expecting. The problem is on the VNC server side. Looks like the server captures and sends down the wire corrupted screen images. 

We use TightVNC version 2.6.4

I think this issue has now been resolved. Have changed the default encoding in VNC Manager to Raw and

all works fine now. Thanks for your assistance.

That's great! Please note, RAW encoding doesn't any compression of the transferred data and should be use for LAN connections only.
