Instant language services support on office and classroom IT lab computers. Part II: Usage
-
Once set up, if you have Windows XP on your office computer, we can use MS-Messenger “Application Sharing” to provide immediate live assistance with computer problems in remote parts (also useful for collaboration with colleagues on documents, including web pages, when a phone call is too little and a meeting is too much).
Click “Start”, “Run”, type (or copy/paste): “C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe“, click “OK”.
-
Start a conversation by double clicking on the user icon (“Thomas Plagwitz” or whoever) in your contact list.
-
Right Menu: Section: “I want to” / “Start Application Sharing”
-
All is well if the other party has “accepted your invitation”, like above – allow some time for the screen sharing to start up on old computers.
-
When a dialogue comes up which asks you which application to share, use “Desktop”, like below – this will allow the other party to see your screen.
-
At the end of the session, “Unshare” your desktop, or simply end the “conversation”.
