Controlling a remote PC

[XDbox2]

My young nephew got hold of an old PC With XP on it, I've been roped in to provide tech support, I need to install drivers on the machine without travelling to his house. He has a dodgy copy of xp on it so I assume windows remote desktop support wont work.

Anyone know of any freeware remote control software I can use to download and isnatll the drivers ?

try getting hold of vnc or radmin, both evcellent remote admin tools

 

[F.E.A.R]

RAdmin is the best remote admin tool on the market
v3 is just out pm if you need it

vnc or ultravnc are freebies you could use, but even if he has dodgy copy remote assistance might work.

You should be fine with Remote ass on msn messenger it should not be effected with the dodgy copy so long as he has a working internet connection and he is not blocking msn messenger with a firewall or alike.

if you have a fixed ip you can try using ultravnc's single click. It allows you to create a .exe which is initiated by the user and it then connects his screen to your vnc viewer. Its a little complex to initially setup (but well documented) as you have to do all the work but its free and works really good. see here: http://www.uvnc.com/addons/singleclick.html

Logmein is also a great remote control piece of software and there is a free option which is brilliant, just can`t print remotely or transfer files but you can do everything else.
