Mother-in-law lives 300 miles away and frequently has problems with her computer. Trying to talk her through these issues down the phone is torture. I'd like to set up remote desktop access so I can sort the problems out from my machine. I've Googled but can't find an easy way to set this up given that I'll be talking her through this on the phone.

LogMeIn seemed to be the ideal program but it's no longer free.

Any suggestions? Windows 7 home premium x64 on both machines

Cheers
 
Tried using the build in Remote Assistance?

It used to be tied to the old Windows/MSN Messenger in XP.

Not sure what pops up now as not used in years.
 
built in is so easy.
Had to do it with my mum and she is a total unconfident PC user.

Just save a file, send it, read a code...
