You run the server on your computer in home B, then run the client on the machine in home A. This will give you remote access to your normal desktop, so you'll be able to run any program you need. There are plenty of guides and tutorials out there.
Consider though that you will need to forward the port for VNC through your router and this obviously presents a bit of a security risk. At the very least, make sure you have a password for VNC access and consider tunnelling your VNC traffic over SSH.
Other things to look at are Windows Remote Desktop, NX ... or, if you just need to see the images then your program may already have an option to upload them to a website.

That's until it keeps saying "you need to download sp2 to get this to work" and you have, and then it says it again.
I agree, realvnc is very very good, but can be a pain to set up and get working.

Yup. MS's RDP client is so much better than any VNC software I have ever tried. It's a lot snappier, and uses so little bandwidth. (Though if you're streaming camera feeds it's obviously a little different!) I generally find that video over RDP or VNC is not *that* great.

crikey, this reminds me of a post I made years ago that got put on the VNC FAQ-O-Matic here
SSH is highly recommended, giving you a two-part authentication, although it is a bit beyond the average user setup.
There is a commercial effort called GoToMyPc.com which allows you to do this relatively simply. Never used it so I can't specifically recommend it. However, it does alleviate the requirement to open ports on routers, which Average Joe isn't usually comfortable with, or aware of what security risks are in place.

It sure does use alot less bandwidth !

Ironic ive never had that - but i tend to keep my machine up to date
use MS Remote Desktop (mstsc) 🙂 it is the best by far - and is easily tweakable if you need to change the port.. also as it runs as a service rather than an application you dont have to log into the machine at home. ALSO it logs the machine at home out.. so no one else can be using the machine while you are (a benefit in my case- however you may want to support multi-login)

I use it and found it worked a lot better for me than Microsoft's built in software.
