Thanks for the replies, regarding ultraVNC is it quite easy to setup as the other computer user is 71 years young and has had a puter for only two weeks, it's taken him that long to loose most of his icons and taskbar D'oh. Regarding loading VNC on my PC I have just had two weeks of sorting another problem (web site viewing prob) and I have just got my PC back after a format C: and a full re-load so could some nice person tell me, is the prog in two parts which has to be loaded on each puter or do you just download the same link for both puters???? And is it dead easy to setup
