We have a Mac OS/X, ver. 10.4 and a Windows Vista Home Edition. The
Macintosh is the target computer. The Windows Vista is a local computer.
How do we Remote Control the Macintosh from Windows Vista? Is there a
software that we can install both on the Mac and the PC? Thank you.

It should be the same as controlling one Mac from another:
On the Mac to control, go into System Prefs -> Sharing -> Services and
turn on Apple Remote Desktop. Click Access Privileges and turn on the
VNC control option. Enter a good password.
Now you should be able to control the Mac with any VNC-compatible
client--I don't the name of any Windows ones but there's bound to be a
selection (if I'm controlling a VNC server from another Mac I use one
called Chicken of the VNC (!))
Hope this gets you in the right direction.
Cheers

Thanks for your prompt response and information. Can I install VNC software
on Windows Vista so that I can Remote Control to the Mac?
Thanks.

I haven't tried, but I'm sure there's VNC software for Windows and that
it can connect to a Mac.
