Best software for sweating sessions

[stealthcow]

Hey guys

interested in knowing what the best software is for sweating somoene elses session. Me and some friends have used logmein, but i dislike this software as it gives full access to whoever is watching you play. I would much rather prefer a program like beamyourscreen- although it costs $35/mo. Does anyone know what the best program in terms of speed/ quality is that does not have a monthly fee?

thanks

Remote Desktop (but again, the observer could control the remote PC). UltraVNC is also free.

try logmein, great free program.

With logmein, can you actually control the other persons pc?

I haven't tried it, but as anyone ever tried using Microsoft's remote assistance?

Yea as i mentioned in my post, we've used logmein and its a good/great program (and free) but has some downsides.

1) you can control the other persons computer. On vista i have trouble enable/ disabling when my computer can be controlled- which i really dont like
2) if i'm watching someone, i have to move my mouse every now and then so that my computer doens't go to a screensaver- and this is a bit disrupting
3) the quality of the image/ speed is good. but i used a demo of beamyourscreen, and i thought it was significantly better

thanks for the replies though

I didn't test any other software except realvnc. ( http://www.realvnc.com/download.html )
It is pretty good with a flexible rights management.

yeah if you use vnc (i use tightvnc) you can disable the remote computers ability to control the host computer.
