Remote Assistance (RA)

Remote Assistance is a relatively new technology (introduced with Microsoft XP and significantly enhanced with Microsoft Vista) and allows a support person to connect to a users PC and view everything the user is doing on his machine, and if the user allows it the support person can take over control of the keyboard and mouse of the users PC to correct a problem and/or to show the user how a particular function is done.

Remote Assistance will only work if you have a broadband Internet connection (ADSL, T1 or similar).

The following screen captures will show you how you can initiate an RA session using your e-mail software, an alternative using MS Live Messenger is shown here.  Additional information on RA can be found on the Microsoft web site, currently on this page for XP or on this page for Vista.

You should first arrange with us via e-mail a date and time when you would like us to connect to your computer using RA.  We normally will be available on work days in between the hours of 15:00 and 18:00 (GMT +1, European Central Time  - Paris).

Currently this service is provided free of charge for licensed users only, however we might charge an hourly charge or a per session charge in the future.

We are aware that there are problems with this related to certain ADSL modems (e.g. the Orange LiveBox in some configurations does not work as it does not support UPnP which is needed to get this working).

 

From the Windows “Start menu” select the option “Help and Support”.

The file “RAInvitation.msrcincident” is saved in your “My Documents” folder, use your right mouse button to click on this file and select the option “Sent To” and from the menu which is then displayed select the option “Mail Recipient”.

You should then see the e-mail composition window of the e-mail software you are using, on our machine this is Thunderbird, send the e-mail to our support address.  You might want to add the date and time you have previously arranged for us to have an RA support session.

At this point we will be able to see what is on your PC’s screen and what action you are performing.  In the “Message entry” section you can type questions and we can respond to them.  At any point you can disconnect the session by clicking on the appropriate button.

Should we need to have control of the mouse and the keyboard we will request it and you will see the following screen, you need to click on the “yes” button for us to take control.  At any point can you cancel the control by pressing the “Esc” key (top left of your keyboard) and we will only be able to see your PC’s screen but can no longer control the keyboard and/or mouse.
