   Software to allow one person to use the machine and the other to see what he's doing
  I'm working on a project with another person and for cretain aspects of our project we need to be able to see what the other person is doing while running the program. I'm pretty sure there is software available to accomplish this, but I was unable to find any while googleing, so I was wondering if anyone here knew of said program. Btw we're both running winxp.   
  WinXP Pro has built in remote desktop. Or you could use something like VNC which has many free servers/clients.   ;  Remote desktop locks the 'server' computer while someone is connected to it. I need to be able to see what he's doing as if he were actually right here controlling my computer. I'll take a look at vnc, thanks.   ;  You can use VNC and set it up to not allow the remote connection access to the mouse and keyboard.I recommend the RealVNC distribution.   ;  PC anywhere works too.  Though i'm pretty sure there's an option in Remote Desktop to lock/unlock the computer so you can see what they're doing.   ;  Remote Assistance, without giving the other person the ability to take over the mouse/keyboard.
