I have two computers connected with the Home network. One with Windows XP
Home sp3 and another with Windows Vista Premium sp1. First computer has
Nod32 antivirus and ZoneAlarm firewall. When I doubleclick a file in Windows
Explorer on this computer it, this file, opens very slowly. The problem does
not depend on the type of file. Sometimes I see the icon of Explorer in its
window left upper angle gets white as if the program stops to answer. The
computer is dual-core 2.8*2.8 GHz and has 1 Gb RAM.

When I take network cable off files open quickly.

No such problem with the second computer. It is dual-core 2.5*2.5 and has 4
Gb RAM. I use McAfee antivirus and Windows firewall there.
I tried to open files with antivirus or firewall disabled and it did not
help to solve the problem.
Any help will be appreciated.

In Windows explorer, can you see other connections except local computer
such as C and D?

I am not quite sure I understood your question right (what do you mean as C
and D?). In Windows Explorer I see My network places\entire
network\microsoft windows network\name of group\two my computers\their
shared folders.
Please be more detailed.

If you open Windows Explorer, you should have My Documents, My Computer and
My Network Places. Click on My Computer. Tell us what do you have.

Bob means that you may have slowdowns if you have mapped network drives. Do
you have any?

When you doubleclick a file on the problem computer, are you trying to open a
file that's stored on that computer, or on the other computer?

Let's look at logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server",
and "net config workstation", from each computer, so we can diagnose the
problem.  Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):

to Chuck:
Sorry, I can't use your advices just now in particular because I am a
completely new user of the MS Vista (that was preinstalled on my new second
computer), even its interface, and its reactions often puzzle me. For
example, it forbids me to use the commands you recommended though I am the
only user of the computer. It'll take some time till I learn how to work
with Vista. Thank you!
