I found a way to get it to work for me. In the general tab of the option dialog window, if you uncheck "Run VRS automatically when this computer starts", the VRS program will not launch a service. You can then set up your program in the transmit tab and when it runs, it will run with the user's network ID and be able to interact with the screen.
The help file says that you can run your programs on a user account and they should run correctly. I should have taken that as 'could but will most likely fail unless you modify the properties of the service itself'.
Well, at least it works for me even if I can not take advantage of running a service in the background.
