HELP--operating a computer from a distance
Shawnnita aka busyaussiemom,
I think you would have to use a third party tool such as Symantec's PCAnywhere (http://www.symantec.com/pcanywhere/Consumer/) to do what you want. I'm sorry but I am unable to comment further as I have no experience whatsoever of using this product. If however your mother were to be using XP (Home or Pro) she could request your assistance using Remote Assistance which would then allow you to work on her PC as if it was your own. Even then I'm not sure about being able to do this from a PC running Win Me but could be possible by installing the free Remote Desktop client on your PC. The only scenario which I've personally tried and used is installing the Remote Desktop client on a Win Me box and using that to log on to a PC running XP Pro. Sorry not to be able to be more help to you. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP busyaussiemom wrote: I *think* she is using Windows 98. Thanks for your help Shawnnita aka busyaussiemom |
