VNC on Windows 7
I've installed UltraVNC 1.0.8.2 onto a Windows 7 machine... in trying to run it I get the following error:
The uvnc_service service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly.
How do I fix?

Have you tried running as Administrator? I find this has helped me with PcAnywhere.
As a side note, I find that on some of my windows 7 machines, they are happier running tightVNC instead of UltraVNC. Not sure why, just thought I'd toss that out there...
classnet, any feedback?

This is being used with a service that I wrote to help customers via remote access. The article wouldn't really help as I don't want to have the user disable a service...

2. My old version of RealVNC 4.1.9 works fine under WinXP but gives error message in Windows 7. Even when installed and started as Administrator.
3. Presume there is a registry entry that needs to be added or modified. So far have not found anything searching the web.

Success! I downloaded RealVNC 5.0.3 (64-bit) and installed it on my Windows 7 64- bit system (Service Pack 1) as Administrator. All my problems disappeared and my LAN-based connections began working properly. It set up the listener "service" successfully which automatically activates at each boot-up. No changes were made by me to the Registry. (I have no idea what the RealVNC installer may have done to the Registry (-: )
