I have not been able to get RDP to work for me. I don't know or I can't
figure out what I was doing wrong. I could give it a try again but I don't
expect much from it by me.

By going the VNC option, if I have tightvnc viewer on my PC, then how do I
have control over the XP? (This is what I mean as I don't have a clue of
what I am doing.)
