Hi all,

My grandmother just got a new Dell computer running Windows XP Home.
On her last PC (running Win98/Me) I spent numerous hours on the phone
with her, talking her through problems.

Is there any way for me to connect to her PC and help her out without
requiring a phone call? It looks like remote desktop is only available
on XP Pro. Any truth to this? Anyone successfully manage a connection
to XP Home?

Cheers,
Dave
 
Open "Help and Support" and search on the string 'remote assistance' for
help setting up and using Remote Assistance. Note that both of you must be
running XP (Pro or Home or MCE) or Windows 2003 Server.
