You should look at TeamViewer, though. It's similar in terms of functionality and business model, but it's very easy to use. Download the "full version" for yourself, it has the option to run without installing. You tell your friend to get the "QuickSupport" version and when he starts it there is a simple code and password he tells you about and when you enter it into your version it will connect instantly, no hassles. http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx Don’t even bother with this pay service, it’s changed so much over the years.

I'm not sure why they're not available from the IQ504 page, they should work regardless of the model you have. As far as the DVD update goes, sometimes updates get temporarily removed when a new update is on the way. Perhaps that's what's going on there. Hang in there for a number of days, and maybe the DVD update will be back. Ellison,

These seem like important files so should I be pulling them from the IQ527 site to install on my device regardless or bypass those downloads all together? Also the DVD download seems to be missing from your link as well as when tyring to pull directly from HP. Is this upgrade no longer needed or is this a glich with the HP site?

The design change is that you can now interact with the application in the tile directly. That change requires tiles to stay the same size. The Windows icon has been replaced by a minimize button in the upper right corner. That's more in line with standard Windows application behavior.
