A program called VNC (or Tight VNC)...Virtual Network Connection.

It will allow your sisters' desk top to be viewed and controled on your computer.

Last time I checked there was a free downloadable version... Google for it.

Windows Messenger will allow remote desktop assistance, as will MSN Messenger.
