Thread: OT: computer question - rem

  1. #1

    Default OT: computer question - remote access

    I have a Win98SE pc in another room that I would like to access from my Win2000 pc. I looked at MS remote desktop, but that is for XP only. An internet search found a bunch of shareware programs in the $50 range. Looking for a recommendation on a good one?
    I should add, I am not looking to access files on the Win98SE pc, rather I need to monitor and configure one of the applications that is running on the pc.

    You just exposed a bug in the BBS software. Your title has the keyword "rem" in it and the vBulletin software truncated everything following that in the topics display.

    Must be just your PC Evan. I see it just fine. Can you see the two words on my title line?

    Yes. But look at the title of this thread in the general topics list.

    Default Test - remote in title

    Oh yeah, I gotcha. I wonder if it's the hyphen preceding the rem?

    It may be. I don't really want to clutter up the BBS with more testing though.

    Nope. The same text is used for the post title as the thread title and you can't edit it either.
