Vista hangs any 98SE computer

I've set Vista shares properly - my XP cxan see it. But when 98SE comp tries
to connect, it locks up. 98SE can commect with XP.

This brilliant move by MS to Vista has me making my file/s on 98SE, copying
them to the XP, then using XP to send them to the Vista (because Vista still
can't access XP or 98SE) Why, because some dunderhead at MS thought to make
all connections use a User ID and Password - something neither XP or 98 are
set up to handle!
Computers, and Vista were supposed to make life easier - was it something I
said about Bubba Gates or is there a way to make the comps communicate in a
logical way?

This Groups title is a true oxymoron.
