Any free remote software for Vista?

I need to connect to a Vista Home Basic PC from a Windows XP Home PC. Is
there any free remote control software that will do this? I need to remote
into the logged-on session of the Vista PC.

Thanks.

I use both TightVNC
http://www.tightvnc.com/

and LogMeIn
https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp?lang=en

Logmein works better for my wife's laptop. When she puts it into suspended
mode, and resumes, the Tightvnc server service won't resume. Logmein
resumes, so I can connect.

Ok. Logmein relies on logging into their site for functionality and
tightvnc is just software based correct?

Windows Remote Desktop that's sitting on both O/S(s) can't do it?

I don't think Remote Desktop is that easy to use. I believe you need
Windows Messenger or Outlook to start it. Anyone with experience in with
Remote Desktop?

I haven't noticed any issues. Other than some lag in screen updates. I use
Vista HP, and connect to VHP on the wife's laptop, and XP Home on another
desktop.

Yes. The remote PC is Vista Home Basic. I will connect to it using XP
Home, not XP Pro.
