Download TightVNC 2.7.3
There are several programs to control computers remotely. TightVNC is one such program and as the name implies, it uses VNC. ‘Tight’ refers to the use of compression, so that the program also performs well over slow connections. Since version 2.0, TightVNC is only suitable for Windows 2000 and above, Windows 9x/NT and Linux users should version 1.3.10 keep using. Since version 2.5 there have been separate 32bit and 64bit downloads and support for the fast mirror video driver DFMirage has been added. In version 2.7.3 the following changes and improvements have been made:
Server for Windows
- Fixed an issue on connection to a server from a built-in remote desktop client on Mac.
- You can safely change screen properties (resolution, etc.) on the server running on Windows.
- No more bad desktop size issues if the server is running on Windows 7 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 (SP1) while there are no drivers installed. A server can be run on a virtual machine as well.
- Added more verbose logging (when a logging level is set to 9).
- Improved performance when the remote desktop is shown in its original size. Moreover, the image quality is now improved in case pixel-size checkerboard patterns are used.
- Optimized Tight encoding to work faster.
- Increased speed of ZRLE encoding up to 25%.
Java Viewer
- Fixed a compatibility issue with non-TightVNC servers (Mac remote desktop, UltraVNC) when ZRLE encoding is used.
- Optimized memory usage when Tight or ZRLE encoding is used.
