I had an wireless connection without any security between the above
computers. When I set the router and the Win XP computer to WPA-PSK
security. Vista computer does not have WPA-PSK has the following
WPA-Personal. I would like to know if they are compatiple with each other.

WPA-PSK and WPA-Personal are the same thing.

If you have XP sp3, you're all set.

If possible, use WPA2 rather than WPA.  If you use WPA and are offered
the choice between TKIP and AES, choose AES if all of your equipment
(router and both computers) support that option.
