I have a VNC Server (Free Edition) set up on my Windows 7 64-bit rig (in sig).
The server works perfectly (both via VNC viewer on another machine and the Java Viewer via browser) when run in User-mode (i.e. in the taskbar, exe shows in task manager).
I would however like, for multiple reasons, to have it run in service mode. I registered it as a service and set it to start automatically with windows. The problem is I can't connect (neither via VNC Viewer or Java Viewer) to the server when it's in service mode. I get the password prompt in the VNC viewer, right after it says "The connection closed unexpectedly, do you wish to attempt to reconnect to ..." and with Java Viewer it just does nothing.
