I need to remote into my sis's computer...

[rudeguy]

I've never used this feature before so I need a lil help.

She is running XP pro, I'm on Vista. Can anyone walk me through setting this up?

Is this across the Internet, or on the same local network?

I recommend LogMeIn Free or VNC.

I recommend LogMeIn Free or VNC.

+1 for LogMeIn ... best free remote control tool ever.

across teh intarwebs.

I'll try the logmein...does it take up much room? Her whole problem is that she is getting a low memory warning.

With Windows RDP... ur going to have to open up the firewall. Def try logmein.

Likely Virtual Memory. Try setting Windows XP to "Let Windows Manage Your Virtual Memory Settings".

I prefer crossloop.

thanks guys! Logmein worked great. Turned out she only has a 150 gig HD. I cleaned up what I could and pointed her towards a nice 1TB drive from the Egg
