Is this possible?
RayB:
Install Win 7 and instruct her to always say NO to the prompt that warns that something is attempting an installation.
That or get her an iPad. Sounds like the perfect candidate for one.

There is always logmein free, that is what I have on all of my computers (I have a headless fileserver and that is my primary way of accessing it). Its easy to set up, no port forwarding or anything. Once you set up your free account, call her and have her log into your logmein account and click on add computer. That will add her computer to the list that you can remote control.

Yeah id go with logmein aswell as you can setup an account at ur place then just get her to download the software and then give her the username and password and your setup.
It's how i support all my families computers :)

To prevent any potential confusion, AFAIK, you cannot just DL the logmein client. You can setup the account on any computer, but have to do this before you can even get a client. To add the software client to another computer, you must log into the logmein account on that computer and click "add this computer" on the account screen. This will then DL the client onto that computer.
I haven't used the Mac or Iphone version of logmein tho, so NIN's method may be the way it works on those platforms. Regardless, the site is step-by-step.

I went with logmein.com and all is well! Easy to use and having Mom do her part on her end was easy as well! :applaud:
Thanks for all the suggestions and advice! This was the BIG Tylenol that I needed! :applaud:
