Remote Access

[Philip Herlihy]

That's also the way to get long range from an electric vehicle.

But that's based on a joke that's so old that no one will any longer
think I'm young

The military has used wire-guided missiles!

Many thanks for the suggestions. I will give TeamViewer and LogMeIn a try.

Both my sister and parents live out of state, and occasionally call me with
their computer problems. I'm interested in a good recommendation for a
remote access app.

I've been using ShowMyPC, but I don't like how it constantly disconnects in
Windows 7 machines (I'm guessing it's something to do with User Account
Control). Is there a better solution, especially one where I don't spend 10
minutes just walking someone through the process of launching the app and
letting me in?

Thanks!

It's mu opinion that join.me (which is a logmein service) works better
than free logmein because it has less overhead as it does not require
you to log in to use the service.
Good luck to you in whatever you choose.

Oh yeah! I had completely forgotten that...

Thanks for brightening my day.
