software to watch someone else\'s desktop
 

does any one know of software that i can set up on a friends computer and it lets me watch him operate on his desktop. basically it is so i can observe my friend play poker from my house while he is on his computer. Thanks.

Look for "Remote Administrator (Radmin) 2.2"

You shouldn't post the serial # here, but I agree Radmin is pretty good and the method for packing/sending the display off seems better than most apps I've tried. I used to run an old PC as a glorified router and never had any problems with it.

I have never used this product, but the company produces quality software. $5 gets you 24 hours of access.

If you want something free, tightvnc is good. I believe it is a project on sourceforge. I use it at home to get a virtual desktop to a "headless" linux box I use as a fileserver.

Or you could use the famous Real VNC over at http://www.realvnc.com/

tightvnc or realvnc are great and very light.
