SP6 also stops VNC[1] from working unless run with administrator

a _tightening_ of security in the TCP/IP code.


If you have already installed SP6, you can work around the problem by
replacing the file AFD.SYS (Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock)
with the version that comes with SP5. No sideeffects here.
However, I do not recommend installing SP6, until an official fix is
released.
