Terminal Services not installed

[Guest]

Hey there:

I have a client running XP SP2 and for some odd reason, terminal services is
not installed. I'm trying to set her up for remote desktop, but you right
click on my computer, goto properties, and the remote tab is missing. Also,
there are many subkeys of the terminal services key in the registry that are
not there, including "windstations" where you change the listening port.
Cannot find any info on how to install all this, since it's supposed to
install by default. Any ideas??

Thanks

Sounds like your client is using XP Home. XP Home does not allow
Remote Desktop connection "into" it.

Have a look at a free "remote" access system like UltraVNC:

It is actually the Pro version - I thought that too originally, but it is pro.
