Default Application Sharing between XP and Vista

The nice feature of Windows Messenger on XP is that you can 'share' an
application with another user. In other words, show them your desktop like a
presentaiton or a web site maybe.

However, Windows Messenger doesn't work on Vista and Live Messenger doesn't
seem to have this feature installed.

Can anyone suggets a way of sharing an application between XP and Vista
users without having to buy and install MOC server?

Or for that matter between two Vista users?

Thanks

Hi,

The replacement for the Application Sharing feature is Office SharedView, which is completely
free and requires no server.

You can find it he
http://www.sharedview.com

Although there is no direct Messenger integration, you can send the invitation link via
Messenger just by copy/pasting.

Default Application Sharing between XP and Vista


So am I right in understanding that Office SharedView will run on XP and
must be installed on the XP machine if I want to application share
between my Vista machine and remote XP machine?

I've just installed SharedView on my Vista machine, but I'm not sure
how it will communicate with remote XP machine.

The old XP Messenger way was much better as it was easy to get someone
on the other end to do it. Now I will have to ask them to install
SharedView before we can share. Perhaps there are many other advantages
that will outway the inconvenience of having to install a program. I
hope so, can't wait to try it out.

W.

Greetings W,

That is correct as the old application sharing feature does not exist on Vista and SharedView
doesn't exist on XP or Vista by default. So you have to install it on both.
