I have Vista 64Bit Dual boot with Windows XP 32Bit
4GB RAM - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66

I have previously been able to use Remote Assistance. Did so to a Vista box
via Windows Live Messenger about 2 weeks ago. I am now experiencing an issue.

I have tried connecting to both XP and Vista systems. Tried initiating
through Messenger both Live and previous, as well as by invitation. Others
can provide assistance to me however I cannot to others.

Remote Assistance does not error out. Task Manager shows msra.exe started in
the Processes tab. No CPU useage but Memory usage.

I have looked in the event viewer and the only error listed is:

Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-RemoteAssistance/Admin

</Event>

This error is not always reported though.

I have not been able to make any progress on this. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
James Borg

Remote assistance is not supported in all combinations. Check out the FAQ at
the link below (particularly the 6th question).

RE: Remote Assistance Stopped Working

Doesn't apply to my situation. I have tried to provide assistance from my
Vista Ultimate 64 box to Vista Home and XP Pro boxes. I was previoulsy able
to do so to the Vista System.

Thank you for taking the time though.
