Sorry we really dont feel like helping you now leave us alone! No im just kidding. What I recommend you do first off is install all the software updates. You are running .4 you should have .7. To install the updates go to the apple in the top left corner and hit software update. Now after you have installed all the updates, try emptying your trash. If that doesnt work. In finder hit SHIFT APPLE U at the same time. Go to disk utility. Select your HD and hit repair disk permisions. IF your trash still will not empty let me know. As far as networking the 2 computers are they on the same network and both turned on? Is file sharing on the XP? IF so go to your HD and hit network wait a couple seconds and you should see your XP computer pop up. For more detailed info please google it. You will be able to find something! Good luck!

In the left pane of the Accounts window, look for your account name and post back what it says under your name....it will either be Managed or Admin.
