How to make VNC working with the Vista 64, I have been using ultra vnc so I can connect from work to my home machine server.The main problem as I have narrowed it down to, is that Vista box does NOT start in the VNC Server (service) mode. And I dont know how to get it to start. When I goto Start>Real VNC>Start VNC Server Service.

You may try using the following steps to get your solution.

I have also check that VNC only works on the User mode not server mode on a Vista Box.You may need to change the port on Vista box to something other than 5900, say 5910 or 5920. Then when you connect you are supposed to type in xxx.xxx.x.x:5910 and it works fine.

Try instead the free UlrtaVNC there is a x64 version with extra video drivers, Connections will be secured with 256 bit AES encryption. This keeps your credentials and data safe.VNC has become a ubiquitous remote control solution, You can create multiple levels of access based on the password provided.

It's not open source, but NetMeeting does exactly what you want to do on Windows 2000 and XP.Try turning off Differential Compression since XP does not use it. I am not sure if Vista has something like NetMeeting; I noticed an application called "Windows Collaboration" but I haven't used it yet. Click Start and type optionalfeatures.exe into the searchbox and press enter, then just untick "Remote Differential Compression" then click OK
