Microsoft Windows Remote Assistance

For Windows XP Professional and recent versions of Windows, Microsoft includes the Remote Assistance feature.    It is Free!

Here is how to activate it, so that we can log in to help you.  The mouse will move around the desktop just as if we visited you personally.  This saves travel time and expense for you.  

If you already have done steps 1 through 4, you may go directly to step 5.

Making your computer receptive to Remote Assistance

1 Select the desktop of your computer
2 Select "My Computer" then right click to select Properties
3 On the System Properties tab, select Remote

If not already selected, please select Remote Assistance so that it is checked on.
