To manually start/stop run sudo stop/start vnc-server

I've just tested on latest RPi2 S/W from Ubuntu and it works fine. I would check your setting in Win8. Use none or ssh

Thanks for your help. Seems the only way not to get a black screen in the vnc programs that I've tried, is starting the rPi's vnc-server manually.
