im now using VNC and its really good ive heard of it before but can anyone tell me why it seems really slow, do i have to open a port on my router or is it just my internet connection

I have never tried it but it is supposed to be better then VNC and more secure.

LogMeIn Free gives you the flexibility to access and control your PCs or Macs from anywhere. It's safe, easy and completely free.

LogMeIn is generally a better alternative to VNC. It is easier to use and offers better security. The downside is that its not available for every platform under the sun like VNC is.
Step 1. Sign up for a free account at LogMeIn.com

Goto LogMeIn and sign up for a free account. Make sure you don’t use a password that you use for anything else as you will have to give this account out in order to have others install the client on their PC’s. Of course you don’t have to give your account out if you are the one installing the client.
Step 2. Install the LogMeIn client.

Once your account is setup, download and install the client for your operating system. During the install you will be asked to create an access code. Make this different then the password for your account. This way who ever logs into your account won’t have default access to all the systems listed under your account.
Done!
All you need to do in order to control a remote system is to log into your account, select the computer you wish to control, and enter the passcode you created when you installed the client.
With LogMeIn there is no need to configure your router or remember the IP address of your system. Seeing each system registers with the website when the client is launched this is all taken care of for you.
I told you it was easy.
Tip:

If you wish to change the passcode you created while installing the client at a later date, you have to remove and reinstall the client.
