Vista - Sharing Folders

It asks me if I want to open a sharing folder with a contact so I click yes
and then it says "Your computer does not support sharing folders." Is there a
way to fix this and make my computer able to support sharing folders. I am
using a Pentium 3 with Windows XP.

Greetings Spencer,

What's likely happening is the file system on your hard drive is formatted in the FAT32
format as opposed to NTFS which is required for Sharing Folders to work.

Note that the standard file transfer will continue to work, regardless of the file system.

If you really want Sharing Folders though, you can simply convert your hard drive to the NTFS
format. The steps for that can be found here:
