Sounds like someone has set the "documents" area on the vista pc to be "made private". Not too sure if this can be reversed, as I never touched Vista in any great depth, just got put off it straight away. Try navigating to C:\Users (on the vista PC) and checking the properties of the folder which you want to do anything with the files...

Might be able to do something that way...

A simple common problem, sometimes solved by having identical named user accounts and passwords on both xp and vista, that has solved it for me before.
