If you have Windows XP it has built in remote access software that helps you connect to a friends computer, by invitation, to help them by taking remote access control of their computer system. This means you could be in the USA and be helping your friend in Australia to find a solution to his or her computer problems. The technology to gain remote access to basically anyone's computer is available on most computer users start menu. I regularly give my friends computer support from the comfort of my own home.

What you need to use the Help and Support tool to gain remote access

1. An broadband or cable internet connection.
2. Windows Xp on both computers
3. An email address or be signed into Windows 4. Live messenger.

The easiest way to connect

It is very easy to connect two computers over the internet. One computer can take control and fix problems on the other computer. Following these steps to use the Help and support software that is built in to Windows.

1. Sign in to Windows Live Messenger and have your friend do the same thing.
2. Go to the start menu and choose Help and Support (shown below) Just the computer user that wants to invite does this.
3. The Help and Support Center will appear.
4. Click on Invite a Friend to connect to your computer with Remote Assistance. Located under the Ask For Assistance menu.
5. Then press Invite someone to help you. The window below will appear.
6. Choose your friends name from the Windows Messenger contact list.

7. Click on Invite this person.
8. This will allow your friend to see your desktop. If they want to control your they must press the Take control button and the other person must agree by pressing ok..

Check out the Screenshots for this article at How to connect to another computer. This is what I see when I am in control of my friends computer...I can go on the internet or read their emails etc..

Reasons to use Windows remote help and support

--Your problem is so minor, you do not want to bother an IT support person.

--You cannot afford an It technician, and your know a computer whiz..

--You have already rang software support or your internet service provider and they could not help

--You constantly need desktop computer help and using remote access software is easy!!


Notes:

--If you close the Remote Assistance Window it will disconnect. And you will have to start your remote access again if you want to connect.

--Don't worry if it is a bit slow because that is normal. The speed of your remote access depends on your speed of both internet connections.

--You can also connect using an email address. The invitation is sent through email.

A digital clock; mosquito repellent machine; a timer to control your lights when left on in room where there is no one are simple circuits that can be designed easily at home. There are plenty of hobby electronic designers who love to create circuits for their domestic usage or for exploring their hobby. So what all one requires to create small and simple circuits. From resistors, capacitors to slightly advanced micro programmers and micro controllers till the latest generation Serial EEPROM's there are plenty of electronic tool bases which one can use in their circuits and create magnificent and energy efficient environment all over. Some of the easy to learn and use electronic circuit building tools are:

Starter kits
Starter kits are small Programmable control board which can be used for creating some wired or wireless applications. Most of the starter kits that are frequently used by hobbyists are ST7, AVR, PIC micro controller, Ethernet, CAN, PLD, DIL, FPGA starter kit etc. Along with these kits there are numerous accessories like joysticks, push button control etc available which will make the programming easy and simple.

Programmers
Programmers are plenty which includes universal, hand held, gang, ISP and Keyfob programmers with which one can easily program and re-program their EEPROMs. The latest addition to these devices are the gang programmers, In system programmers, device programmers etc which makes parallel programming easy for PC hosted, network and stand alone modes. Some programmers come with debuggers as well.

Chips, IC, Modules
Integrated circuits, chips and programming modules  like internet or Ethernet modules, PROM, EPROM, serial EEPROMs, USB modules etc are must for designing an simple circuit to explain students or for running a small automated gadget. These are available with different specification from various manufacturers at varied costs. One has to understand their requirement and choose the IC that is most suitable for their usage.

PC interfaces
For many FPGA kits programming requires PC interfaces. These PC interface can be in the form of terminal servers, CAN interfaces USB interface, blue tooth or wireless interface, Zig bee protocol based wireless networks etc. Generally to connect computers with PC networks you generally require RS232, RS422, RS485 cables along with these interfaces along with IO managers, leads and cards to complete the connection.
With these useful circuit building blocks, designing any circuit is easy and more convenient. Also there are plenty of variations available in these modules with respect to memory capacity, voltage requirements etc as each of them is designed by different manufacturer. Hence while designing your circuit at home, you have to be careful with technical specifications and buy these important ICs and modules. Also electronic goods do not come with any warranty. Hence to avoid them being damaged, one has to work carefully and design their circuit. Of course, the first or second attempt might fail you but ultimately with every turn you learn something new and better!
