Hello,

Yes, you are correct on the Remote Desktop and Remote
Assistance. Remote Desktop allows someone to log directly
on to your PC without your assistance or authorization
while you are logged off.

Remote assistance allows someone to log on to your
desktop and view what you are seeing and take control of
the desktop if you allow it.

I have never run across the error you are getting so the
only things I could think of that may be the issue is the
service I mentioned which is for controlling remote
assistance, and also the fact that the user you are
sending the invitation to must also be running Windows XP.

Good luck!
