I have just had to reinstall Windows XP Home. In Explorer under Local Disc, there used to be just one Windows folder. I now have two. One is titled Windows. the other Windows 0.  Why? Some of the files within them are different.

    It might, but I do not know how to set up the network properly, which is why I suggested you post in Vista and label your question "Proper network setup with XP and Vista".

    It might be why xp is not working, please check at the vista forum.

    Here are some articles that may help:

    I don't have a problem with the operation of my Vista. When I disconnect it, it makes no difference to XP. I just wondered if, considering the Network Icons and settings showing on XP, whether they were correct.
