REMOTE ASSISTANCE
If you are running Windows XP as your Operating System, many services can be done REMOTELY.  Give me a call and I will be happy to explain this new technology which enables me to connect to your computer and view your screen, move your cursor, look at your files and help you all remotely - I don't have to come to you, you don't have to come to me.  This is a very simple and safe procedure that saves time, money and travel.  Remote Assistance can be used for:

  • Troubleshooting problems with your software and hardware
  • Tutoring you on your software programs and how to use them
  • Solving software problems
  • Demonstrating how to do certain functions on your computer
  • Showing you literally what buttons to push
  • Help you by pointing out all the bells and whistles on your machine that you probably have never used before or don't even know exist

Give me a call - let me help you rather than trying to struggle through long Help Desk printing or calling a Call Center.  I can be right on top of your problem and possible solve it in minutes.  This, of course, all depends on what your problem is, but I am sure I can help you with it.  Give me a call!

 

 

LIVE CONNECT NOW SERVICES

I can offer services that allow you to connect to my computer and view my Desktop.  This is especially helpful if there are time constraints or either party cannot physically be present.  Introduced and run by Adobe, this is a new version of Adobe® ConnectNow.

Give me a call and I can show you how easy it is to connect computers.  This is a valuable tool in sharing information that is hard to explain over the phone, in viewing screens which make it more clear if you can see what is being discussed, with the use of web cameras or real-time blogging, we can communicate in real time and get more done in a more productive way.

Below is what the program looks like onscreen.  Please, give me a call and perhaps the use of this new Internet tool can help you with your computer problems, training and use.
