Unfortunately, the Free Edition does not yet support Vista. Many of us 
on this list hope that it will be available soon. Until then, you should 
be using Remote Desktop. On the Premium machine, simply right-click 
properties on MyComputer, select the Remote tab, and enable "Remote 
Desktop". Then from the XP machine, run the client with 
Start->Programs->Accessories->Remote Desktop Connection, and when 
prompted, enter the IP or hostname of the Premium machine. I think you 
will be very impressed with the performance, and it also supports file 
transfer and routes the remote sound locally as well.
