I actually beleive that you need to login into windows messenger and do remote assistance that way and the person you are doing it with must have windows messenger aswell. I also beleive that you need Xp Pro as Home edition doesnt support it. Hope that helps. If you install Windows messenger I dont recommend uninstalling it but rather disabling it (google) as whenever you load into msn messenger windows messenger automatically try's to reinstall which can be rather annoying. Hope that also helps. .:Beets:.
