I have a windows 7 home premium and am trying to do remote assistance to a windows Vista home premium using microsofts remote access. It just wont go. Is there a trick to this or something? I can use the remote access when accessing another windows 7 no problem, but the Vista I cant.. Any help would be appreciated.

Be sure and check your firewalls, too. There are some that will block any attempts to do this until you enable the function.

This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
