Remote Support

Remote SupportSome technical issues are difficult to debug over the phone or by email. We use the ShowMyPC apps for Windows and Mac to provide remote desktop support services. These apps allow you to temporarily grant us access to your computer, either just allowing us to see your screen or giving us the ability to also use the mouse and keyboard. This can help significantly reduce the amount of time needed to solve complex problems. Note that each new session generates a new access key, so you have complete control over granting access to your computer, securely!

The first step is to contact Safeport Network Services and then follow the instructions below for Windows or Mac:
