Vista recognizing xp folders, but can't open...

[Guest]

My Vista is a notebook and networked at my home. The other two are XP. By
turning off McAfee Firewall, my XP's finally can "see" shared folders" from
Vista, but can't open them--says something like "Can't access-no permission"

I think I have done everything I can to try to shre the files and folders.
Gateway says it's an IP Vista/XP issue but I don't buy it. They also told me
that my Vista wouldn't recognize my XP's because of my router--but as usual
they were wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

Also, I thought I got free help from Microsoft and got on their website, but
it keeps on asking for a product number--but the back of my computer only
lists a Product key number and it doesnt match the format Microsft wants.
Any help?

Turn on the guest account on the Vista Computer. This solved the problem for
me

problems!
