Hi

I'm trying to get VNC to work on a G4 that has 10.2.8 installed. I'm relatively new to macs (got a MacBook at work this year), and as of this morning new nothing about VNC. I have recently purchased a film scanner that runs on SCSI, hence I picked up a cheap G4 running 10.2.8. SCSI and scanner run fine under this setup. I don't have a monitor for the G4, and I'd like to be able to remotely access it from my Mac laptop. I've downloaded a couple of older versions of OSXVNC (version 1.5 or such - supposed to work with 10.2.8) and chicken of VNC. Both applications open on my macbook fine. I can't get OSXVNC to run on my G4 at all though. It opens and then closes straight away when you double click the program icon. I've tried repairing permissions and restarting - no luck. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tim
