Thanks, Tom, for naming a workable program and also Dave for warning us
against other names.
I noted Chris's and Ted's responses for future reference, but I don't have
enough technology knowledge to understand the terminology. To clarify on my
end, both her office and home computers are running authorized versions of
JAWS 11, and both systems are XP.
Dorothy, thanks for the warning about LogMeIn, a program I am familiar with,
but my friend's office isn't using it.

RDP [remote desktop] allows you to work on a computer remotely but you do
need to install jaws on the remote computer as well as on your desktop.
It is the only one I have used that works.

Adrian,
I've used NetMeeting, Webex, and a couple other mainstream applications, and
they are all inaccessible. The only parts that can be viewed are things like
the list of people attending.
Freedom Scientific uses one for their training webinars that works well, but
simply because the trainer pushes out the documents in text form -- we are
not actually seeing his desktop graphics.
I don't know of any product that will not send a stream of graphics to the
client computer from the host computer.
Dave

Hi.
I'm writing on behalf of a friend. I know this question has been addressed,
but I didn't need to know for myself.
How do you obtain remote desktop access to a work computer on a home
computer. The route my friend's company uses presents the remote access as
an image that, of course, JAWS cannot read. Is there a way around this?
I asked my friend what program her company uses for remote access. All she
could say was that a technician used an existing setting within her XP Pro
computer to make the connection.
I hope I've given sufficient information for someone to provide answers.
Thanks.
