    VNC (any flavour) Sometimes doesnt login at windows logon

    I have my machine running ultravnc server (as service) - with two users, one has a password (mine) and one doesnt...

    i can get to the ms logon screen showing the 2 users, all the time... i can login to the user without the password each time without fail... but my logon, 20% of the time refuses to login, it either kicks me out of VNC or hangs at the logon screen.

    i have to close VNC, reconnecting via VNC just takes me back to the ms logon screen.

    any ideas

    na. one consistent method of getting it to work, is to log the passworeded user in first before the non-pw'd user.

    ah - each user isn't logged off properly ?

    I suspect VNC and fast user switching dont get on too well ?
