I have experimented with a few. Teamviewer worked the best for my application albeit very sloooow.

I have found that slowness is a common factor with the remote desktop programs I test drove.

Try this Google link

WinVNC (or UltraVNC) + a suitable terminal program (like Putty) is another. Free but can be a bit of a pain to setup.

"Remote Desktop" is another common one, but I have never tried to set it up.

A few others are below (including Remote Desktop).
