Desktop Sharing (like Netmeeting)

Greetings All,

I have recently purchased a new machine...with Vista 64 (had to have more ram for gaming) my problem is I am spoiled by Netmeeting and can no longer use it.

I have searched for programs similar and can't find one that fits as well as Netmeeting did (used netmeeting for 8 years very happily although at times I hated it but it worked)

I have tried Tight VNC (this one is just not quite there for what I want...the only way I can see sharing a desktop both ways is having the server and client both running at the same time and ...then it just gets confusing because of the way it is setup.

Windows MeetingSpace (lacking the shared both parties desktops simultaneously like netmeeting and also lags quite a bit)

Netmeeting on a 64 bit System (haven't been able to get it so I can share my desktop....I can see theirs but I can't share mine if I install it and use compatability mode.)

Does anyone have any suggestions for programs?

I am not against paying for a program (as long as it isn't an outrageous price...$100 to $150 as long as it is a one time fee based program or if it is a monthly fee program that is very reasonble)
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
What version of Vista are you using or connecting to? Business/Ultimate can host a Remote Desktop session FYI.

LogMein.com isn't bad (and it's free, too). You only need to install software on the host and use a web browser on a client. I've used this service to cleanup my grandfather's PC that is about 300 miles away from me.


edit: I should add that the logmein program has some extra features like file-sharing if you pay for it.
 
I am using Ultimate.

I haven't tried Logmein although I do use Hamachi (by the same company ...because Netmeeting was horrid to use behind a NAT and Hamachi solved this issue)

I would prefer it wasn't a web based program but, I haven't tried one so if it wans't laggy (like my mind said a web page program would be) then I could get used to it.
