Sorry Mr. Nik, I'm very sorry, I never meant to make you so upset for posting this text. Please forgive me!

Install RealVNC on her computer.

Open a browser on your computer and connect to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5800 where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of your moms computer.

If I was to put this in the networking forum it'll never get answered

When it asks for the address to connect to, would I just input her IP?

Why roll your eyes? He's right. When you go into the networking forum, or tech support forum, there are absolutely no posts. Nobody ever posts in them. The forums are completely bone dry and baren. What do you think Anandtech is? An organized forum!? PSSHHHHH...

She is running XP Pro and I'm running XP Pro. What settings does she have to do/update so that I can remote desktop/connect to her desktop and use some programs?

System Properties->remote->"Allow users to connect remotely to this computer" (configure that)

if she's behind a router she needs to forward 3389 OR put herself in the dmz OR just hook directly up to the modem for the time being.

Thanks I got it. It's a tad bit slow but I'm in the computer now. Thanks!

Remote desktop will seem MUCH faster than VNC. You might want to configure a firewall to allow Remote Desktop connections ONLY between those two computers though. Really, this is a security precaution you should be taking anyway.
