Auto remote controll software

[gibbsy81]

I would like a utility that my grandmother can click when she needs help with something on here computer and it will connect to my pc so I can control her pc to see what the issue is and fix it remotely.

pay the $5 for splashtop and connect your phone to your monitor.

 

have her text you when there's an issue so its not like the batphone ringing while bruce is taking a dump

Depending on her OS she may already have an RDP server installed, if not logmein.com

Team viewer, its free and all she has to do is give to you and ID and a password that shows on screen

If she uses avast and so do you then that has one built in, you can write down the steps for her to activate it, then she can contact you with the code it gives her you enter it and you're in, if you don't use avast then just pick one of the other free remote desktop programme. I think Google Chrome has a free remote desktop feature never explored it though, that could be a viable option.

Edit: on investigation the Google Chrome option will probably not be an option as it requires the same Google account on both ends http://www.howtogeek.com/142146/how-to-use-google-chrome-to-remotely-access-your-computer/

I'll take all the suggestions into consideration all I need now is a program that she can hit a key on the keyboard then it will launch.

Teamviewer with an account, set the PC up on the account and set teamviewer to log in on startup, you can then remote access the PC at any time even without her hitting a button, then she can just phone you for help. I used TV to remote access my desktop (due to not being able to portforward for RDP, which I can now do)

Team Viewer is the way to go. Its free if you dont want to set up and account. All you have to do is take a picture of her unique ID and set up a static PW which will make team viewer run in the background on startup.

teamviewer also have some extra tools, look at http://www.teamviewer.com/nl/download/windows.aspx for more info!

Funnily enough, I had a TV account, was free and working for many months, still works I believe

Or would I be better off using an out of band management card then I can access the bios and reinstall windows if needed.

But how would I configure it so I can use it on another network.
