You must call me before attempting a remote session

I need a phone call prior to your attempt to establish a remote session. This is because I very well may not be at my PC. Also, I have to start-up a server session in preparation of your connection attempt. Fortunately, a huge number of issues can be corrected across the remote connectivity session. I can often do software installs and uninstalls as well.

If you have Vista or Windows7 with "Aero" enabled...

Here is an important pointer you need to know

Before connecting.

    

 

 

What's Aero?:

Aero is a new feature of Vista/Window7 that presents translucent borders on windows. First introduced in Windows Vista, the underlying so-called "Aero" technology is now more widely used to provide new capabilities with Windows 7. Aero mostly makes the desktop look more Mac-like, and creates what most consider a highly desirable "cool" effect.

Why is it a problem?:

The technology behind creating the Aero effect is quite taxing upon the computer resources. This certainly and naturally has a connectivity effect on our link speed. But even more detrimental to the remote assistance is that it creates a HUGE drain on the amount of data transmitted between you and I when we are engaged in a remote assistance session. this is because of the complexity of the imagery that is exchanged from your "Aero" enabled window views. The bottom line is that we end up with a very slow link and as I execute various mouse and keystrokes (remotely) at your location, I may have to wait 30, 40 seconds or even a minute before I can proceed to the next step because of waiting for the completion of screen refreshes.

What can be done about it?:

That's simple... Just disable Aero... Only temporarily, while we are engaged in a service session. When we're done, re-enable it and you're back to using that "cool" effect that you so much enjoy.

1. Point you mouse at any "clear" space on you desktop.
2. Right mouse click (1 time) and select personalize.
3. Click the Theme link
4. Mouse the "pull-down" menu under Theme & select Windows Classic.
5. Click apply.

For Windows7:

1. Point you mouse at any "clear" space on you desktop.
2. Right mouse click (1 time) and select personalize.
3. Scroll down to Basic and High Contrast Themes.
4. Left mouse click (single-click) the Windows Classic Theme.

When we're all done with our session, just go back through the same steps above and re-select the Aero theme that you had been using.
