I use RealVNC. Run the VNC server in "user" mode, and don't let it install as a service. It works fine, albeit a little slowly. |

If you have Vista Business edition, you can use remote desktop connection. The problem with remote desktop is that you must log on as a different use, and that requires logging-off the current user. I find RealVNC to be a much better solution to remote access.

In my XP SP2 machine, what do I need to setup? and what need to be setup in Vista? I'm confused about the following: Remote Desktop Connection Remote Desktop Web Connection Terminal Service Client Remote Assistance I'm located in US. I'm trying to access my UK friend's Vista machine to solve a problem for him.
