hope i got this in the right place this time... real newbie here

i got a harrier device a few weeks back, love it..

ive loaded some apps including a remote control for the harrier from my desktop PC, works great.

what id like to do tho is to use the harrier to control a pc itself, otherway round.. there is an app preloaded called Terminal Services Client.. im not sure how the heck to set it up or use it.. will this give me control of a pc the harrier is connected to via the USB cradle, or does anyone know of any apps that will allow control of a PC with such a device? i want to use it on a PC without a monitor and use the harrier as the screen

You can use the Terminal Services if you are running Windows XP Pro. Or you can use WinVNC and PocketVNC. Or you can go for a more sophisticated approach and try GoToMyPC (paid subscription, GoToMy PC Pocket PCreview). There's a free option called LogMeIn

sweet, thanks for that.. iim not sure how to use that terminal services bit with xp pro... any help you can give me there? i was hoping to use it on a 98se machine actually, and have the harrier as a remote for it via USB.. may sound dumb, but im settiing up a pc in my car for mp3 and vid and just need to have a control for it without a screen, thought the harrier might do the trick...

Hmmm. In this case then try WinVNC and PocketVNC. It'll be easier to setup... And when you have your project complete, send us some pictures...
