I've seen the two window problem with XP, but not with Linux. I have found
that if you disable the Consumer service, you'll just be left with the Vic
window for Producer service.

I had the same problem with the slider bar. To fix it, I had to create a
.vic.tcl file. In Linux, I just put it in my home directory, but Windows,
I don't know, you'll have to experiment with that. But create a .vic.tcl
and
add this to the file:

option add Vic.maxbw 3072 50
option add Vic.bandwidth 900 50
option add Vic.framerate 25 50
option add Vic.quality 85 75
option add Vic.defaultTTL 127

Now the others are just optional, but set quite a lot of things.

Good luck!
