I'm using UltraVNC to remote desktop onto a Windows 7 box (it allows you to keep Aero turned on whilst doing remote desktop, whereas Windows' RDP does not). However, for some reason this seems to cause Windows to think lots of memory is being used by Aero. After a while of being logged in, I usually get the following message:
Upon clicking on this popup, I get the following warning dialog (and the help dialog if I click on the help link at the bottom):
If I elect to keep the current color scheme, I will quite soon after get the following message:
And clicking on this produces the following help dialog:
I know Windows thinks it's doing me a favour here, and performance is quite slow when I'm in remote desktop and Aero is turned on. However, I specifically want to keep Aero on because I'm testing how some stuff looks with Aero turned on. Is there any way to tell Windows, "leave Aero on no matter what the performance hit"? Even a registry setting or something? I haven't found any way to stop Windows from turning Aero off automatically.
Does the Free Edition work in Windows 7 yet? Last I checked, you just got a black screen when trying to connect when no user was currently logged in.

We're currently in alpha though for V5, which does add the free edition back to the lineup. Using RealVNC, I can normally keep Aero running on Win7 fine, but it does occasionally run out of memory to store the zillions of layers. – Nicholas Wilson – 2011-09-30T10:26:27.277
How is that V5 going? I see it still isn't being offered as a free version for download on the RealVNC website. :-) – Jez – 2011-12-20T20:21:42.177
Internally it's on RC now... – Nicholas Wilson – 2011-12-21T12:44:33.650
Any idea when that will become externally available? – Jez – 2011-12-22T11:36:40.680
