Our secure Remote Support software is easy to use and requires no modifications to your firewall or security settings. We only access your screen and keyboard, there is no way a virus or Trojan can be transferred in either direction!

1. First contact us so that we know you need support.

2. We will provide either an email with a link that looks something like https://secure.logmeinrescue/R?i=2&Code=3421 or a login page and a 6 digit pin number as shown below.

For either method, the email link or the pin number, they will both be valid for 30 minutes from the time we send it to you.

3. You will be prompted to Run a web applet. Again there is nothing to install, you just need to download the temporary program and run the applet.

4. Depending on your browser and operating system, there will now be a second security warning, again click on Run.

Depending on your security, you may be asked to block or unblock the applet from your firewall. Click on unblock or allow.

5. The Support chat box will now display on your screen, and indicate that you are waiting for a technician to connect to your computer. Simply waiting for the ProExe technician to connect.

6. Once a ProExe technician connects, you will notice the chat box changes to show the name of the technician.

You can use the bottom of the chat box, to "chat" just as you would with any Instant Messenger. Enter text and click Send. You can disconnect at any time.

If you are also in contact by telephone or Skype, you do not need to use this chat box, and can minimise it.

7. You will be asked if the ProExe technican, can take control of your keyboard and mouse.

You have the option of saying "No" but this defeats the purpose of requesting the online support, so please click on "Yes".

8. You can stop the desktop sharing at any time by clicking on the appropiate buttons at the bottom of the chat box.

Disconnect will end both the session, and desktop sharing if it is currently in use. Whereas clicking 'End Desktop Sharing' will still leave the chat session running.

10. The applet goes away after you have disconnected the support session, and will not remain on your computer system. If in the future you need further Remote Support, you will need to download, and run the applet again.

Accounts are unlimited, and did we mention they are FREE? The prefect solution for home or mobile / field operation workers.

All you will pay are the 0845 local call charges to your phone provider.

Once you're set up the number to connect to is 0845 059 0014

Before you can start adding your own dial-up accounts, ProExe need to create a "realm". This realm is unique to your account and will form part of the dial-up login username. This is ideal as it can be branded* to your company name.

* (NB if the dial up is branded to your buisness or organisations identity there is a nominal charge of £5)

What is the ProExe Support Calling Card? 

The Calling Card feature allows you to connect directly to a ProExe technician. Think of it as a direct hotline to us.

(Note the calling card software needs to be installed onto your computer.)

How do I use the Calling Card?

5. As soon as a ProExe technician picks up your session, the form of the box will change and you will be notified that you are connected to a technician:

6. You are now able to type text into the empty field highlighted above and to 'talk' live to the technician:

7. Type in your message, then click the Send arrow to send the message to the technician. The technician will respond in a similar way to assist you.

8. Previous messages in the conversation will appear in field A, as in the example below, and you type in new messages in field B, as below.

10. The chat conversation can continue for as long as is necessary to solve any issues you may have. Remember to click the Send button every time you want to send a message to the technician.

11. Once you are connected, your ProExe technician may want to use some diagnostic tools to check out your machine. They will ask you for permission to use these tools, e.g. Remote Control, where the technician takes control of your machine from their machine. If you are not sure what this involves, ask your ProExe technician for more details before giving permission. However, if you decide not to give permission, this might restrict the technician's ability to solve your issue.

12. If you want to end the chat conversation at any time, click on the red Disconnect button.
