If both you & the remote PC are running XP (Home or Pro) you can use Remote Assistance. Go
to "Help and Support" & search on 'remote assistance'.

Another alternative is VNC. I like & recommend UltraVNC. Get the server, client &
encryption plug-in at...

Remote assistance will let you share a desktop. Which is nic...
But, wehn you offer assistance, there has to be someone at the other end to
accespt the assistance.....
I like VNC too. It lets me take control whenever I want.
