I used Crossloop yesterday for the first time. I connected to, and
fixed problems with a friend's PC 200 miles away, and was able to see
his screen, and do whatever I wanted with my mouse and keyboard.
(similar or same as GoToMyPC). Worked fine, no problems at all.

I had downloaded this but haven't had a chance to test it. It looks
promising and the biggets nuisance (the randomly generated security
number) is probably an asset anyway.

Well lets do a session Mike...but let's first do one in Mikogo. I'll set
the meeting up, you join, then we can look at Crossloop together. It'll be
fun and you can see an alternative as well as test out Crossloop.

Email me if you want to do this.

So what, it's free, the best and easiest to use...IMO of course. Only the
meeting initiator has to register when downloading the software. The
people accepting a meeting request do not.

Schedule a meeting in Crossloop!

I had three meeting participants. I spoke with one on the telephone while
we played. I don't think it gets any easier than this. Meeting is over.

Crossloop works great for helping others with their computers, which is
what it was designed for. I use it often to repair other people's machines.
It works around router/firewalls etc without setting up port forwarding
etc. Also the I/P address of the client doesn't need to be known. Much
easier to set up than VNC. I believe they use VNC as the basis for their
service. Totally free, but you always get nag type messages on startup and
shutdown, which is only a minor irritation. I recommend using this service
for helping people fix computers remotely.
