I suggest something easier to set up and configure than VNC. Check out

He has taken it apart and dried what he could. Now I must drive to a
neighboring city to help him or take it to a tech.

Howdy,
I was guessing it might be a laptop. Can you post which laptop it is?
For example, my laptop is a 14 inch g4 ibook. I am no expert on lots of
Apple laptops, but I don't think anybody can tell you much without
knowing what hardware your son has.
Good luck,

It's very, very slow and I find that it does not have all the right

No choice whatsoever in the matter since video encoding is entirely
