Hey cristine,
Try Webex by At&t. My company has their own version of this, essentially you Call on the phone, and both log into a Web meeting. Then one of you shows your desktop to the Web Conference, and now you are thinking as one, instantly. With a phone package for All Distance (one fee as many minutes as you need on a land line), you just need to pay for the Web Conferencing. I never priced it personally - would be interested in your results.

Also, there is a Feature of XP called Remote Assistance, where you can invite a friend to control your computer - you could leverage that to work with someone. Find that in the START --> Programs --> Accessories menu of XP.
