Remote desktop.

ok i have my old dell machine running XP Home 32 SP3 that i was use as a server that my new rig running Vista Ultimate 64 SP1 can access for movies etc but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. iv connected from the dell to my vista machine but cannot the other way. On the XP if i hit start > Right click my computer > Properties > Remote tab the bottom half of the tab window is blank where remote desktop settings should be. any ideas why this is?

xp home doesn't have remote desktop server

either install xp pro, or just install realvnc server on the xp machine, and realvnc viewer on the vista machine

(works almost the same as remote desktop)

will do what you want it to do

Home doesn't support being a remote desktop host if i remember correctly. There are hacks and other free software out there that does this for you though, have a google around
