My daughter does not live with me, and her mother is being a real bagel about letting her install games on hers for us to online together. I was thinking of just giving her one of my older ones and just tell the X to piss off. If I do, how do I set things up so I can access it from mine? Also would I be able to install games from disc on her's from my place?
 
What do you mean by access? Like share and edit files? Or straight up control of the PC?

as for installing games from your PC to hers, might be possible if you share the CD drive of your PC. But itll take a long ass time since it is installing over the net.
 
I'm looking at controling the one I give her from mine, 60 miles away to help with maint. issues. An Asus serv. tech did it with mine from India once.
Also, is it posible to stick the game disc in my comp and again load it onto her's over the same distance?

Click to expand...

Take a look at Teamviewer or LogMeIn for control. There are a couple of paid apps and services as well but I forget what they are.

You would have to make sure your PC and your daughter's PC is on a VPN and that your CD drive is shared. However still not sure it's possible to install a game from someone else's CD drive
 
OK I'll check them out.

Come to think of it.... even if I was able to install from my comp, she would still need the disc to activate the game to play each time..... oh well never mind on that.

Thanks yet again Danny for your input!
 
I'm not sure these will do what you want, but at least there are no physical discs/boxes... have you looked at Steam and/or Direct2Drive? Just download a game, and play. I've never used them, since I prefer to have a CD / DVD, but some of my friends like them for their convenience.
