Your setup doesnt matter!

both of my own machines my host is a 1.7 Gh,512 RAM, pent4 and I use
windowsxp pro. My friends machine is pent4, 1GH.256 Ram and uses windowsxp

You really should start to set it FIRST

I have downloaded info to set up remote control but
 
This page will help with Remote Desktop...

For help forwarding TCP Port 3389 through her router (if she has one) see
this site...

http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

You also might want to consider Remote Assistance if you want her to see
what your doing while you troubleshoot, etc...
