    Hi, I have a few computers in my house, one upstairs, one downstairs.

    I'm on the downstairs computer and want to ask my sister something on the upstairs computer and dont want to walk, is there a way to make a message popup appear on her computer so that i can tell her?

    Please don't suggest walking upstairs, talking, shouting, texting, or instant messeging of any kind

    What are you expecting?

    You don't want to use any messenging programs. This leaves you with virtually no options other than what you did or did not find with a simple online search.

    zijin_cheng, I would recommend Teamviewer, free, many options, and easy to use.
    TeamViewer Version 6
