Open a window from PC to PPC?

UPDATED INFO:
I am a captionist for the deaf/hard of hearing and I use my laptop to type and give my client my phone to view what I'm typing. I am at different locations all the time. The way it has worked conveniently in the past for me is by bluetooth activesync connection and Innobec Sidewindow to use my phone as an extended display. I can no longer do that after updating from XP to windows Vista, so I am looking for alternatives.

Did you try Remote Desktop? That worked for me in Vista and 7

I'll be honest. I have a hard time setting up remote desktop, port forwarding, IP addresses, and all that. Can it be done through bluetooth?

I will be using this for my laptop and windows mobile phone to take to work at different locations. So I will be on the go the whole time. Will remote desktop be for me?

Also, I'm using Vista Home Premium, so is the Remote Desktop that came with my windows mobile phone even an option, or would I have to have Vista Ultimate?

it can be don using pan bluetooth but not bluetooth network connection over activesync
as when one take over the desktop the user is log'd out and that ends the activesync session

Thanks for that info. So I can do this with Vista Home right? I don't need Ultimate?

Can you please provide some info on how to go about setting up PAN bluetooth and remote desktop, or a link to some good info even. Thanks..

Edit: Is having a PAN bluetooth the same thing as having my device paired with my computer?

Well after 6 hours of trying to figure out how to remote desktop via bluetooth, I've given up. I got stuck trying to set up PAN bluetooth, since I could not find the option for PAN Bluetooth anywhere; I only found LAN Bluetooth Network. My bluetooth device must not support it.

I'm still desperately looking for alternatives if anybody has any ideas, otherwise I'll have to resort to installing XP and do it with Innobec Sidewindow like I've done in the past. I was hoping I didn't have to downgrade from Vista though.

VNC for windows mobile won't work ?

VNC for windows mobile won't work ?

VNC is remote desktop right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would need to have access to the internet in order to do this right? Can it be done via bluetooth?

Okay, regardless of that - I will attempt to do this if you can help me. If you have experience in this, can you tell me specific programs I will need to download for my phone and/or my laptop and I will try to go from there. Thanks.

Edit: I've updated the first post with more details on what I'm looking for.

As I'm looking further into VNC, I want to repeat that the computer I would be accessing through my phone will be taken to different locations with me while I'm at work. I'm only reading of features about having remote access to computers at home, or some fixed location. So I don't know if VNC is for me. Please let me know if that's correct, otherwise I will look further into it.

I tell ya, I'm real dedicated. I've been on this since I posted at 10am this morning and I've learned lots so far.

VNC seems to be a cool feature and I've successfully connected my laptop with my phone with my WLAN. I've still yet to figure out if I can do it without a wireless router or internet connection, using just bluetooth or wifi adapter. If anybody here has the answer, please let me know.

Thanks.
