I run Windows XP and my mother is getting a new PC with Windows 7. We go remote quite frequently using Windows Messenger Remote Assistance. Will we still be able to do this when she gets the new PC?

  • I can't. It seems that Windows 7 RA is faulty & will not connect to an XP computer. There are a number of others with similar problems –  Apr 09 '11 at 20:25

Yes, shouldn't be a problem.

  • Or you can try Teamviewer instead :) – Fogh Mar 31 '10 at 20:46
  • Fogh, is this from experience using it or do you have a source? – James Watt May 03 '10 at 16:27

    Teamviewer is highly recommended on most all help forums. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=teamviewer+review&aq=f&aqi=g5g-m1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=CUvp1Jis3TJCxGorAM6CPoYEKAAAAqgQFT9AJX0k&gs_upl=312%2C312%2C1%2C0%2C61%2C61%2C1&fp=36ec6be010d257f – Moab Jul 09 '10 at 13:59
