which would you use teamviewer, or logmein, or any other that i don't know of. i haven't done this in a while and i'd like to be able to use my desktop at home while im out of the house. can anyone help me with some suggestions? i have windows 7 for my os btw.

I think TeamViewer requires your computer to be ON to access it.

So, unless you're planning on leaving your computer on, I suggest using LogMeIn as that is designed to do what you're asking.

LogMeIn is your best bet, unless you leave teamviewer on all the time.

If you've a phone that can download applications, then go for teamviewer. 

thanks guys, i have never used logmein so it sounds like my best bet since i don't plan on leaving it running all the time incase i forget to..lol

I used teamviewer for a 3 week vacation to the U.S. and again for a 8 day vacation to Portugal this summer. Left PC/Teamviewer on, 24/7 VPS lol

Hello, I have always used Logmein. I love it so much. When I used p****bot I would have logmein that way while I was at school I could sit there on my iPad and watch it haha

I use LogMeIn to help my grandpa at his house and such.

teamviewer is the best for this. fast and smooth every time i use it

im using logmein. no complaints. don't have to leave it running. and computer doesn't have to be left on. winning.

In your situation, your best bet would yes, be LogMeIn.
