pcAnywhere in XP?

[Jeff]

Cleaning my basement of years of accumulated junk I found a very old version
of "Norton pcAnywhere" ver 4.5 "with windows support".

Can pcAnywhere work within an XP home network?

Trying to decide whether to just junk it or if it might still be useful.

Norton PcAnywhere versions 10.0 and below are
not Windows XP compatible.

For XP compatibility you need pcAnywhere version 10.5 or later.

Well just as a reference point they are currently running V11.5. I am pretty
sure that was written back in the bad old days of 95, ME and 98.

For XP compatibility you need pcAnywhere version 10.5 or later.

And VNC and TightVNC are free and do a good job of replacing PcAnywhere.

Do you mean a network in your home, or a network of XP Home Edition
machines? XP Pro has remote desktop, so utilities like pcAnywhere are
redundant for that version IMO......

Not likely to work. If you look carefully, you may see a reference to
Windows 3.0, which is prior to Win95.
