vista laptop (wireless) ----->Router------>XP PC(wireless)

I can see the XP pc but it will not let me see the files/folders it just says the folder is unaccessible.

But if I can my settings to

vista laptop(wired) ---->router----->Xp PC(wireless)

Then everything seems to work any ideas?
This might be a firewall issue. Check your firewall on the Vista machine to see if the wireless adapter is part of the 'trusted zone'
