The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using Remote Assistance in Windows XP

Asked by jrt01uk in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: assistance, remote, windows, xp

Hi,

I'm trying to help a friend over long-distance using the Remote Assistance feature in Windows XP. We both have Windows XP Home Edition. The problem is that my friend is currently learning how to use PCs, and has run into a bit of a problem which he needs my help with, but he's having difficulty with creating a remote assistance request to send to me.

I was hoping that someone knew of a foolproof method in which I could tell him to do this - as little intervention as possible on his part would be much appreciated by me....it appears that he's having difficulty even in emailing me a request. It doesn't sound like there's any problems with his setup because I've done this in the past.

He has dial-up connection, so I can't talk him through the process over the telephone because he needs to be on the internet before Windows will allow him to access the screens. Is there some shortcut I could use to make this whole process simpler?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Regards,
Jason
