Hello,
I just installed UltraVNC 1.0.8.2 on several Win7 64-bit boxes and it runs fine, but whenever I connect to the user's computer, they see a notification that says: "The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic".
How can I prevent this from popping up as it's getting really annoying?
After more 2 000 000 (two million) views on forum for 1.5.0.x development versions... and 1.6.1.0, 1.6.3.0-dev versions
A new stable version, UltraVNC 1.6.4.0 and UltraVNC SC 1.6.4.0 have been released: https://forum.uvnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=38095

Also, the user reports that the display flashes on/off before that notification pops up. Video driver issue?

Re: The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic
I edited the user's .ini file to reflect: EnableDriver=0
That seemed to fix the error, however, I'm assuming now it's not using the mirror driver? This effectively prevents me from accessing multiple monitors, correct?
Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Re: The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic
1) If disable aero is selected (server option) ->basic color
2) If mirror driver is used ->basic color
Just keep in mind, that basic color mode is 4x faster... all aero effects
generate a lot of data...

Re: The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic
Actually, this seems to happen on every Win7 box here. Is the current mirror driver just not approved for Win7 64-bit?
Bueller?!?

Re: The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic
Rudi, thanks for your reply. Is there any way to get dual-monitor support without triggering basic color mode?

All mirror drivers put win7 in basic mode... that's the way how MS made it.

Re: The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic
OK, so is using a "mirror driver" the only way to get dual-monitor support?
Thanks for your help!
