I use http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ works fine. You can either use the java viewer (which should work in most browsers) or the viewer program which is pretty tiny.

I just use XP/2003's inbuilt Remote Desktop. It doesn't apply to XP Home but it does have the advantage of just being available with no extra software.

I use remote admin: http://www.radmin.com/download/

Never had a problem with it, although it costs..
