Hello Chuck -

I had a similar problem with both realVNC and TightVNC running on a
Windows Vista box. The developers of TightVNC have told me that their
dist will not run as a system service on Windows Vista in it's
current incarnation. Since I had the same problem with realVNC, I
suspect it's the same case here.

TightVNC has an upcoming new release that will supposedly work on
Windows Vista in system service mode. In any case, the workaround is
to run the VNC server as a user application instead of a system
service - you should be able to get a connection then.
