This message brings up when there’s a problem with the password used for TightVNC communication. The easiest way consists in updating the TightVNC password in your configuration : File / Configuration / TightVNC settings and so on… Once changed and saved, right click on one of your remote computers and select Remote control / Reload the configuration. If the problem still exists, please send an e-mail to support@pointdev.com describing your networking environnement (product version, OS of your administrative box and of the remote bow, are the boxes on the same network or not, are they members of the same domain or not, etc…).
