Will Remote Assistance still be possible in some way when Messenger is not supported?  I can't find that it is possible in Skype, for instance... 

 

I am trying to set up a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro OS, and have Windows Live Essential Messenger.  I also have older laptop with Widnwos Xp and Messenger.  I live on a small Hebridean island, and my IT advisor lives on another similar island soem distance away, up to now for many years he has been able to help me using RA via Messenger.
