ZoneScreen is a tool for extending your desktop workspace using displays of network connected computers or portable devices like Pocket PC. Like VNC, ZoneScreen is able to mirror local desktop to another computer in the network. The main difference is that it also allows extend desktop, just like the case when you have second monitor connected.

All you need for ZoneScreen to work is network connection between your devices (your computers are both connected to the same network, or connected directly with cross-over cable or 1394 firewire cable, etc). In case you are using Poket PC, you may use connection provided by ActiveSync (using cradle cable, IR port, etc).

Extending functionality is supported for computers running Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP (x86 and x64). Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7 support is limited.

ZoneScreen consists of two parts: kernel-mode ZoneScreen Virtual Display Driver which is visible to Windows just as normal video card with monitor attached to it, and user-mode ZoneScreen Wizard which is responsible for capturing image (running at server side), transmitting it over the network, and drawing it at another computer (running at client side). Machine with extended desktop called server. Server machine have Virtual Display Driver installed and ZoneScreen Wizard running in server mode. Another machine acts only as external display and called client. Client machine have only ZoneScreen Wizard running in client mode.

Both parts of ZoneScreen (driver and wizard) can run independently, though ZoneScreen Wizard performs better when using update API provided by ZoneScreen Virtual Display Driver. Otherwize it uses frame buffer polling which is CPU consuming and generally slow. This means that in case we are interested only in mirroring desktop image, we do not need to install Virtual Display Driver. And if we are extending desktop we could install ZoneScreen Virtual Display Driver and use any other image redirecting software on top of it. For example, modified TightVNC Server is capable of using ZoneScreen Driver update API.

: Ranked highly for its ability to role-block and communicate privately at night. It sits high in the protection priority order, second only to the Flagger's Redirection . wolvesville all roles better

: Introduced in the Gothic Update , this role can talk to the dead and "ferry" up to two players, allowing them to survive for an extra day even if they are killed at night.

: An advanced version of the Junior Werewolf . It can bind itself to another player, counting as two werewolves for the win condition and taking the bound player down if it dies. Advanced Information Roles : Widely considered the best role overall due

Based on recent balance changes and community consensus, these roles currently offer the most "power" for skilled players:

To play protection roles better, you must understand the .

Wolvesville continues to evolve, and as of May 2026, the meta has shifted toward complex that offer significantly more tactical depth than their base counterparts. To play "better," you must move beyond simply identifying "good" or "evil" and begin manipulating game mechanics like voting, protection orders, and hidden information.

Using force-detected display in Windows 7

If disabled Aero effect of Windows 7 is not an option, there is one workaround available for most modern computers: use built-in dual-head capabilities of a graphics adapter. If your video card have extra output but nothing is connected (for example, you cannot connect old laptop to that output because laptops missing video inputs) you still can extend your desktop onto this monitor, redirecting it's content with ZoneScreen wizard or using VNC. To do this, click "Detect" in "Screen resolution" settings applet, and even if you see "Another display not detected" you could force Windows to use it by clicking "Try to connect anyway" in "Multiple displays" drop-down menu.

Other Systems (Linux, Android, etc) as Client Devices

There is no ZoneScreen Wizard ports for Linux and Android, but it is possible to use cross-platform implementations of VNC as a replacement for ZoneScreen wizard. For example, server machine with Windows XP, ZoneScreen Virtual Display Driver and and VNC Server could use client machines with any operating system which supports VNC client. Because virtual display is completely identical to normal display, VNC Server could be transparently used above ZoneScreen display driver. Also you could run ZoneScreen Wizard (build for Windows 98) in Linux under Wine.

If you have nice how-to guide about using Android device as ZoneScreen display feel free to email it to me so I can publish key points here.

Release notes

New Versions of ZoneScreen

If you need ZoneScreen in a different configuration (operating system, CPU architecture or language), or you have suggestion for a new feature to be implemented, it is very unlikely for new versions to appear in the nearest future. I have had plans for ZoneScreen 2.0 with WDDM dummy driver supporting Windows 7, but I do not have much time for it. I haven't done any changes to ZoneScreen in years.
