How do I install remote control software on my Windows PC?

0. If you don't have winzip on your PC, download it from the LPL FTP Site and install it on your PC.

1. Download the VNC exe file (vnc-3.3.7-x86_win32.exe) from the LPL FTP Site.

2. Run the WinVNC setup program.

   Double-click on the VNC on your desktop.
   Click through the setup screens, taking all defaults.
   On the "Select Additional Tasks" screen, click all four boxes.

3. Invent and enter the password for this WinVNC server.

   (You will later type this after you start vncviewer on another machine
   to remotely control your PC.)
