Easier remote assistance?

I was wondering if there is an even easier way to connect to a computer for remote assistance from Windows 7 to Windows XP as an e-mail and attach a file?

This is the scenario:
I'm trying to troubleshoot my grandmother with a problem using remote assistance. It took almost 50 minutes to explain how to find remote assistance and how to attach a file to an e-mail and send it to me. She has not a real account in order to use using Live Messenger remote assistance is a step to go and I'm not going to her walk through the implementation of an account just for remote assistance unless it becomes a regular event.

I know it's pretty darn easy to use Easy Connect with remote assistance, Windows 7, but XP unfortunately doesn't have that and I'm not going to tell him to move to 7 on his old Pentium 4. It is slow enough as it is.

Any help is welcome. Thank you.

  • Remote Assistance error: "Easy connect, not available.

    Original title: easy Remote Assistance connect will not work

    I have 2 systems of windows 7 on a local network using Qwest PK5000 modem-router.  Both systems are connected via the home network and share files between them very well and there is only 1 active network.

    If I run the MSRA command on the 64-bit computer and select easily connect using the option "help somebody", the system displays the security code for the other system to use or "invite".

    On the 32-bit machine when I try either options it goes to the "easy connect, not available.  Network Diagnostics has found no problem, but if I try to access the Internet connectivity evaluation tool I can't in the tool.  It says at the bottom "IE6 is required" and nothing happens.   So I don't know if the PK5000 was the Peer Name Resolution Protocol on it or not.  Qwest or Actiontec will not respond to the request.  I guess it's OK if the 64, but the machine would not immediately come with the password to use on the other machine.  The command ipconfig/all look the same on both machines. Furthermore, both systems are (Inspiron 580) and DELL (XPS 420).

    Please give me more advice on this problem.

    Problem solved!

    Downloaded "Teamviewer.exe www.teamviewer.com.  It is a product of superior quality on remote assistance and is free for non-commercial use and it works great both ways. And it allows control over the other system instead of simply consider.

  • How can I get the Easy Connect feature in Windows Remote Assistance to work?

    I am using the Easy Connect feature in Windows Remote Assistance and he tells me that he 'could not connect on the peer-to-peer network. Both computers are running Windows 7, but I don't even get the chance to say even the computer that I want to. I'm not on a corporate network and the Easy Connect function works fine on three other computers on my home network, including two run Home Premium and other professionals, so it may not be a problem with my router. My computer works professional. I tried to use it on wireless and wired. My computer, as well as others, I tried it on, use Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Firewall. Among the computers on which I tried it as well as mine works µTorrent. All computers run Fomine NetSent GUI. Two of the other computers I've tried on and my own running LogMeIn. I checked the Remote Assistance settings on my computer and it is allowed. I don't know what else might be able to do this!

  • I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    I am trying to accept an invitation from my mom's remote assistance and this is what I got after entering the password: connect Remote Assistance could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer cannot be resolved.

    You get the error "a Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer could not be resolved" when the requesting computer (the computer 'demand' help) sends its private IP address instead of its public IP address in the request for assistance. The solution is 'easy' for some and difficult for others. I present here for your perusal:

    (1) obtain the public IP address of the requesting computer (by visiting a web page such as http://www.whatismyip.com)
    (2) save the remote assistance request computers
    (3) modify the remote request for Assistance (RcBuddy.MsRcIncident) using a text editor (such as notepad) and replace the private - section of IP address should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,192.168.1.33:3389 «»
    with the public IP address from whatismyip.com or elsewhere - should be something like this:
    RCTICKET = 65538,1,74.125.47.147:3389 «»
    (4) save the file of RcBuddy.MsRcIncident 'new '.
    (5) double click it to connect to the computer needing help
    (6) cross your fingers and hope it works!

    I hope this helps someone else - if it's too much trouble, feel free to use the tools mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

  • "Wrong password" Bug Windows remote assistance?

    Hi all
    The days pass I have a weird problem with my Windows Remote Assistance.
    It was working properly a few months back until today. Here's the problem;

    (1) my friend request assistance through WLM (Windows Live Messenger).
    (2) I accept.
    (3) he is entered in the "password" as remote assistance usually asked.
    (4) he PM me the password on my msn.
    (5) the program without error Windows Remote Assistance will now pop up on my side and will ask you for the password.

    Here's the rub... I typed the correct password in the talk of what my friend, but still Windows Remote Assistance keeps rejecting the password as if the password is wrong.

    And NO, I couldn't, due to lack of hitting and no., case sensitivity is not the password, password is as easy as '12345 '.

    I'm always rejected by my other friends for bad password as well.

    So please, help me out here.
    Thank you.

  • Windows 7 remote assistance displays garbled desktop

    I'm trying to connect to the asus laptop of my mother to help her, but each time, remote assistance is used, the his office appears in monochrome color and is coded/biased. This is not a problem of the internet, because the connection is through our internet and home network is not used to establish the connection. Between the two laptops Remote Desktop works fine, not display problems what so ever. so I don't think that it is a configuration issue with the router or other system. Unfortunately we have only two systems win7 (my laptop and my mums), so test it with a third windows 7 PC is not possible. I'll try to connect using my XP Pro desktop computer, but I expect that it does not at all due to differences in OS version.  my moms laptop has some kind of custom AMD/ATI discrete video card that is not able to use AMD drivers, so im not able to upgrade to the latest version of the drivers on his cell phone. My laptop has, however, the last driver from NVidia (314.22) package because it is the video card.

    Yet once again, this problem is NOT with Remote Desktop, which works very well between our two PC.

    This is NOT a connection problem. I am able to connect to his PC, very well.

    The question is when his office is shown through the Windows remote assistance program.

    I have already run all the troubleshooters there, who have found NOTHING of EVIL.

    the remote assistance connection is made using easy connect through our home network.

  • Remote assistance - manage the support network?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

    I would use the Windows Remote Assistance as a support tool for every computer on our network (about 400). From now on, I came with the addition of a newspaper in the execution of the script:

    Password MSRA /saveasfile "x:\%username%".
    In return, the Logout script deletes the file.
    That means to me, is to create a Windows Remote Assistance invitation file in a network location, that I can navigate, see what users are connected and it must be the register of the location of the computers (IP/ComputerName). Makes things much easier for me to connect to users and makes it easier for the user. Less user by connecting the best assistance. My goal is to connect to the system without the user having to do anything. From now on, I have to their market through me enter the name of the computer, so I can type in Windows Remote Assistance.
    My question here is what pops up a window like this:
    My question is: is it possible to get this to start quietly in the background or minimized in the Notification area?
    Also: I'm more then happy to have answers with the best means to achieve my goal.

  • My computer could have been hacked by Microsoft Technician via remote assistance?

    Last week I contact Microsoft support about a problem that I had and the technician said it needs access to my computer by the remote assistant in order to solve the problem.  I asked if he could direct me and let do me it myself but he said no, it must be connected by remote assistance.  As he'd download it told me it would take a while and he could not stay on the phone with me because he could help other customers in the meantime and said he'd call me when the download is complete.  He did call back me and was able to solve my problem.

    However shortly after my computer has been hacked and I am wondering if it is just a coincidence or could it have downloaded information from my computer.  Should I have allowed him access to remote assistance.  I am very worried.

    Your help would be appreciated
