PC Remote Control

by frogsnot . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

Sometime ago I visited a website where they were able to take over my PC for troubleshooting without having to install any third party software.

I was wondering how is this possible? And where can I go on the net to learn this?

I am not interested in third party applications such as PCAnywhere. Third Party apps would mean I would have to drive across town to install it on my mom’s PC. My whole point is I would love to help my friends and family without having to drive around town any more.

I have Windows XP Pro and I know it has remote assistance installed, but from I understand both people have to have Windows Messenger installed to use it. And if I am correct you are not given full access to the PC. It would be more like show and tell.

Any help would be appreciated.
