Pcanywhere
I regularly use Pcanywhere to do some remote administration. Although I know that some alternatives will work under XP I am not so sure about Pcanywhere though. I am using v 9. 2 (windows 2k compatible version) If anyone has tried it on XP please let me know the results.

PCanywhere 9.2 works very well in Windows XP. The only issue I had with it is it disabled the Windows Welcome Screen. I got the old Widnows NT/2000 login dialog instead. Uninstalling PCanywhere resolved this. It did this in both Beta 2 and RC1. I haven't had the opportunity to try it with RC2.
i tried it under win2k twice and twice it ****ed up my system hard.
( video card driver totally gone and unable to function until I did a reinstall)
Once I sort of got it working and I couldn't connect to a 9.x server.
Maybe it was the less than flawless install
but it looked to me like this thing wasn't backwards compatible at all.
So if it ****s your system up in 2k it's bound to **** it up in XP
Anyone had any good XP with PCA 10 ??

I've been using PcAnywhere 10 for the last couple of weeks with no problems at all.
Like previous posts have said - If you install it with Host capability then it will replace the Microsoft GINA (the login screen) with the Windows 2000 version.
I've installed in Remote only which means that I can take over screens but I can't put my machine into host mode to have my screen taken over (which is no problem for me as I only use it for dial-in support for work)
So to cut a long story short, use remote only install option if you don't want to stuff up the pretty log-in screen

because VNC is open source. I'm not a programmer and I've been able to hack it with even basic knowledge of C.
NetOp Remote Control.
Thoughts about VNC (any build/distro) vs. Radmin?
VNC is not secure enough to use over the internet i think. as someone else said:
