I installed TightVNC on my Pi and although I could connect to it from a 
Windows PC also running TightVNC I found I couldn't close down the Pi and 
a forced close down or power off corrupted the SD card.

All a bit of a pain, because TightVNC works well between Windows PCs and 
seemed an ideal solution.
