Access your PC Remotely

If you want is to control a remote PC (remote desktop), you can do that for free.
So, you want to use Logmein.com to help a member of your family with a computer problem? Have them do the following:

1.Surf on over to www.logmein.com

2.Have them create a new account. They should select the LogmeIn Free account for Personal Remote Access.

3.Once registration is complete, they need to install the LogMeIn software to their computer. It will be a small software module which runs as a service under Windows.

4.Next, they need to send you the username and password to their Logmein.com account. You will also need the password they chose to secure their computer.

5.Log into their account and you will see their computer there on the list. Click on it, enter the password for the computer, and you will soon be looking right at their desktop.

You can then control the PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. And, they will be able to watch you as you control the computer. They will see their mouse cursor moving around and see everything you are doing. The LogMeIn connection is secure, so you don’t have to worry about anybody spying on what you’re doing.
