Windows Live Messenger & Remote Assistance

I have never used Remote Assistance, but I would like to. I had problems signing up with "Windows Messenger 5.1", so I DL'd " Windows Live Messenger".

Can I connect remotely with live messenger?

Any assistance as to the procedure would be greatly appreciated.

I want to use "Remote Assistance" to connect to other peoples computers to help them troubleshoot.

It's a lot easier to use free LogMeIn.

Thanks glc...I actually had LMI installed for a year, but never got around to using it. Did a test drive with a client last weekend, & it worked very nice!

I use Opera as my primary browser, and I could login to a remote computer, but I'm not able to do anything like open a program, click on anything. Do you know if LMI is not compatable with Opera.

Worked fine in IE.
