Copying files from XP to Vista is extremely slow

I recently bought a new laptop that has Windows Vista. I have a
wireless router. I want to transfer some files from my old laptop (also
on the wireless router, running XP).

I got the network set up on my old laptop and shared some folders. On
the new one with Vista, when I copy files, the transferring takes a long
time. For instance, I copied 2gbs of mp3's and when I tried to paste
them into Vista it took about 5 hours.

Also, what happens some times, is I select some files on Vista and when
I try to copy the files it won't even let me do it, and the program
freezes and is Not Responding.

I heard the Vista Service Pack 1 might help, is this true?

Any help is appreciated!

There may be many causes. Try to disable auto tuning or SP1 first. Or this
