| | Remote Control I am going to buy a new computer running Vista 64 bit Home Premium. I will keep my current computer running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I will install the old computer on the 3rd floor of my house. Is there software available which will enable me to run and control programs, from my new computer, on my old computer. Thanks in advance, JimF |

There are others but I don't use them so don't know. You have to install TightVNC as a "Service" on the remote machine so it runs all the time, but it can save much wear and tear on the legs. |

| | Re: Remote Control If your old computer ran Windows XP Pro, or Vista Business or Ultimate, then you can remotely use the old computer. Otherwise you will have to use a 3rd party program to do it. Maybe remote assistance would work, but I have not personally tried that.

I probably should not admit to this but watching you make a complete ass of yourself is amusing in a quaint sort of way. Each time you do so makes you look like an idiot and makes me look better. |
