Stuart, Thanks for that. I went in to the shortcut and surprise, it already has the compression stuff set to something, all I had to do was experiment for what works for me. Thanks for pointing that out. John W.

Try setting up shortcuts to it using using commandline options "C:\Program Files\TightVNC\vncviewer.exe" -compresslevel 9 -quality 0 >From http://www.tightvnc.com/vncviewer.1.html: -compresslevel level Use specified compression level (0..9) for "tight" and "zlib" encodings (TightVNC-specific). Level 1 uses minimum of CPU time and achieves weak compression ratios, while level 9 offers best compression but is slow in terms of CPU time consumption on the server side. Use high levels with very slow network connections, and low levels when working over high- speed LANs. It's not recommended to use compression level 0, reasonable choices start from the level 1. -quality level Use the specified JPEG quality level (0..9) for the "tight" encoding (TightVNC-specific). Quality level 0 denotes bad image quality but very impressive compression ratios, while level 9 offers very good image quality at lower compression ratios. Note that the "tight" encoder uses JPEG to encode only those screen areas that look suitable for lossy compression, so quality level 0 does not always mean unacceptable image quality. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
