Won't work with Remote Desktop Connection, that's for sure.
There are other software similar though, like VNC. And if you google a bit, you'll probably find more.

I also think this should be moved in Trash talk, as it's not related to 'coding' at all. Trash talk is where all non-subspace-related matters go.

yeah your right it should be in trash talk but anyway i did google and VNC the one i needed i had to pay for so im found another one which is TIGHTVNC for future refernce you can say that one because it is free. im just saying but thanks for your help

I don't know tightvnc but you should also consider UltraVNC. It's also "free" and last time I used it I was pretty happy with it.

(My favourite is RAdmin as a replacement for Windows Remote Desktop though but it isn't free.)
