If your PC is running XP Home you need to use a third-party application like
VNC (any flavor). I recommend UltraVNC. Get the UltraVNC host/server,
client, encryption plug-in and XP video driver (to be installed on the
UltraVNC XP host/server only) from...

http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

The bottom line is that XP Home can *NOT* be a Remote Desktop host...
