I have managed to get RealVNC working with Vista 32 bit.

Start RealVNC installation and Click Next
Accept Terms and Agreements and click Next
Click Next on Destination for Installation
Click Next on Select Components
Click Next on Select Start Menu Folder
Untick Register and configure VNC Server for Service-mode
Untick Start the VNC Server in Service-mode
Click Next, Click Install, Click Next once install is complete, Click Finish

To Start RealVNC Server -
Click on Start > Programs > RealVNC > VNC Server 4 (User-mode) > Run VNC Server

You will then notice the VNC server icon will appear next to your clock in the system tray and it will state waiting for connections.

* If you already installed VNC Service (registered VNC Server as a service to start automatically when Windows Vista starts), unregister and stop the VNC Service.
* If you want to configure settings of VNC Server, right click on “Configure VNC Server” menu item and select “Run as” for administrative privileges so that the VNC configuration tool can access to the relevant parts of the registry.

You can make a shortcut in your Startup group to re-start this each time your computer is re-booted...

That's it, Good Luck.

Why does that not surprise me it's a service that should work fine but due to the "paranoid" mode Vista seems to be stuck in, it just don't...
MS :rock: not!
