TightVNC itself remains free but the U3 loader application (a separate executable) is proprietary. TightVNC 1.3.10 for U3 is freely available for 30-day evaluation and should be registered after the evaluation period. When run from a U3 drive, TightVNC keeps its configuration and connection history (including passwords) on the flash drive and does not use the registry of the host computer. It can be installed on a U3 stick like any other U3 application and allows to use TightVNC (both server and viewer) in a portable way. We have prepared a special version of TightVNC for U3 Smart Drives. On ejecting the drive, no personal data is left behind on the host computer (visit for more information). Applications keep their settings and documents on the U3 drive. When you plug such a USB stick into any PC, it shows U3 Launchpad panel (similar to the Start menu, but on the right side of the screen) and allows you to start applications installed on that U3 drive. U3 Smart Drives are special USB flash drives developed by SanDisk. While TightVNC Viewer 1.3.9 might have problems with Windows taskbar shown above full-screen remote desktop, new version works in Vista the same way as it worked on any other Windows. This will be addressed in TightVNC 1.4 series (there is more information on TightVNC 1.4 development below in this document).īesides service mode problems, TightVNC is compatible with Windows Vista and its compatibility has been improved since previous version. This problem cannot be solved without major architectural changes in TightVNC Server code. Unfortunately, TightVNC Server 1.3.10 still cannot be used as a system service in Windows Vista. The complete summary of changes is available here. Java viewer: Fixed a bug that caused NullPointerException when connecting to any VNC server not supporting TightVNC protocol extensions.Unix Server: Made the vncserver script read configuration from files (system-wide /etc/nf and user-specific $HOME/.vnc/nf).Unix Server: Applied fixes for 64-bit Linux issues, a patch from Russel Miranda.
