You can't go wrong using this, it's easy to set up, and of course now it saves me time by remotely fixing a person's computer. I had issues with trust using other software to remotely manage a customer's computer, however, they seem to trust TightVNC more and have been having a lot more success getting this installed on their machines. That alone is worth keeping this.
There is a slight slowdown which is expected but not enough to hinder what I'm doing.
Great program, a must have.

I have been using this remote program for a few years now. And it just gets better and better over the previous versions when it was called vnc. I'm using the Tightvnc 1.3(dev7)beta it works quite well no problems using it. The only thing missing from it, it's not listed within the Add/Remove Program (Control Panel). So hopefully they'd release a updated version that will sort out that little problem and fix any other bugs that maybe included.

A must for network newbies by HankDougherty
Oct 05, 2005
Fairly easy to use with little networking knowledge. A bit sluggish with slower connections and/or slower puters. I especially liked the capability of administering several clients at the same time in multiple windows. I am a tech and sometimes it is easier to remotely administer the customers computer than to try to explain it by phone or IM. I get the job done quickly and the customer can actually learn by watching it happen in real time. BraVO! Affordable and easy on system resources. Thanks!

Setup couldn't be easier, and I really don't understand networks at all! Besides the network itself, this is the first network software that has ever worked for me. The full screen remote control mode makes it just like you're sitting at the other computer. I recommend this software, check it out.

A fabulous piece of software, I can wake up my network, by sending a magic packet (other software) and using Tightvnc and Kaboodle, I now can run 3 machines locally in separate windows on the main. Not too difficult to set up, vnc almost did all the work for me, you need to know the mac (machine) and ip addresses.
I tried it after failing with winvnc, it setup my system in a few minutes. Thanks for a lovely package.
