Remote Desktop: The Best Way to Connect Different PCs

You might have heard of a remote desktop application introduced in Windows XP and Windows Vista. This remote desktop application is meant to connect 2 different computers on a same network. Rather, the process is a bit different. You get connected to the other person's computer in the same network and for that you need two things; first you need to know the name of the computer or it's ip address and the other thing you need is the permission from the user whose computer you are trying to connect to. In other words, you will need to have the account username and the password to connect to that computer.

Although, this application seemed to be pretty good in the beginning but eventually it failed. There were many limitations like the connection process was slow, the features provided were not as good as provided by other similar applications, also there were some connectivity issues with remote desktop application.

Therefore, I am going to tell you about a new application that is compact and better in performance as compared to remote desktop connection embedded in windows operating system. It's called CrossLoop; you can download the application by searching for the same on Google. It's trustworthy and proves to be useful when you are trying to give computer advice on the phone or via e-mail and it turns out to be frustrating when the person that needs help always ends up with no help at all, just a lot of misplaced information.

A quite and simple application such as CrossLoop should fix this big misunderstanding and help your friend actually get your help. Of course, the application would have to be installed on their computer as well.

Open you CrossLoop copy and start hosting a session. Enter your name and below the code your friend has set, so you can access their PC.

Copy the same access code and paste it also in the previous Tab, then come back to this one and try to click on Connect.

The person that needs help will see a screen as showed blow. Call them so they don't get worried and advice them to accept if they really want your help.

On their screen, the following window will appear. It's a small incompatibility problem common in Windows Vista, they will just have to click unblock.

If everything is done according to the procedure as they should have done, you will now be able to see their PC from your house.
