Remote Assistance

[Wojtek]

My friends sends me a remote assistance request, but my stupid lappy always denies it:



The invitation from 2 Days Left ... Then College to start Remote Assistance was declined. The program is disabled or is not installed on your computer.

running xp pro, have installed all critical updates, messenger 4.7 + msn 6

Is remote assistance turn on for your pc? :D

[Wojtek]

Only thing I can find is

"enable remote assistance"

description: allow remote assitance to be sent from this computer,
but its the opposite, I want to receive.

Where do I check it? :S

anyways,
I check on ms site on how to enable remote assitance,
seems that its already enabled
right-click on my computer->properties->Remote tab, enabled
