You will have to go with a third party solution for remote desktop. The
remote desktop that is built into XP requires for the computer that is being
remotely accessed to have XP Pro.

Hi Marty,

Remote Desktop is available only in Windows XP Pro. The host machine has to be running Windows XP
Pro. The guest/client machine can be running Windows XP home though.

You carnt use windows’s remote desktop with home editon, how ever
this dosnt stop you from using RealVNC, Ultr@VNC or TightVNC.

If the OP uses WinXP Professional then he should use
Remote Desktop. It is far superior to WinVNC and
much faster.

Yes they did, "winxp home edition".

"using third party software your problem can be solved.......

I said that, so did a few other people.

"go to google search and type VNC you will get a freeware

I have already provided the links to the three most populare
"Real: http://www.realvnc.com/
Ultr@: http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/
Tight: http://www.tightvnc.com/"

"and the version is VNC 4.0 ......."
The software you refer to is real VNC, and the version is not 4.0, it
is 4.1.1.

Try UltraVNC - http://www.ultravnc.com/
Easier to set up, plus they have the Single click VNC that you can give to
your friends and have you viewer wait for the connection.
