On http://forum.ultravnc.info/viewtopic.php?p=12711 I found: The Mirror Video Driver is a driver that UltraVNC (for instance) can use to be quickly and efficiently notified with screen changes. Using it on an UltraVNC server results in a excellent accuracy. The video driver also makes a direct link between the video driver frame memory and UltraWinVNC server. Using the frame buffer directly eliminates the use of the CPU for intensive screen blitting, resulting in a big speed boost and very low CPU load. What all software below ? Mirror driver is only intended for UltraVNC nor other vnc flavor nor others software. Thanks Jethro > >> >>An authentication error would seem to point to a password problem or >>something similar.
