I use RealVNC here when I need to get into a PC that doesn't natively
support Remote access (Windows XP does).

Over the past couple of years I have seen where some of you
have experience with remote control software. I think this
capability might be handy sometimes for me to help my
daughter with problems.

In searching I have found these free programs:
RealVNC at http://www.realvnc.com/gettingstarted.html
UltraVNC at http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/
and TightVNC at http://www.tightvnc.com/

Knowing I have never used any remote control software can
you recommend which of these (or others) might be best for
me?
