| | Re: switching back to XP The easiest way is to return the computer and purchase one with Windows XP. Toshiba, Dell and possibly other major OEMs continue to sell computers with Windows XP. As well as almost countless local shops. Also you may run into warranty issues if you have problems with a different operating system installed than shipped. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar "Misbah" <Misbah@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E564350A-8140-42A8-835B-691FBB1F73B6@xxxxxx Quote: > Hey, I recently bought a new computer woth Windows Vista on it.

| | Re: switching back to XP You will have to purchase a license for Windows XP to reinstall on that system since it was originally shipped with Vista. You will need to do some research to find out if your system will readily accept XP since the device drivers for it might be for Vista only. Instructions on how to reinstall XP are available at the following link: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html Alos, it wouldn't hurt to contact the OEM about getting your system and license downgraded to XP, they might do this for a minimal cost if its under warranty. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "Misbah" <Misbah@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E564350A-8140-42A8-835B-691FBB1F73B6@xxxxxx Quote: > Hey, I recently bought a new computer woth Windows Vista on it.

Windows 2000. As more and more money pours into Vista, Microsoft will issue Service Packs and fix problems in Vista as time progresses. I assume btw you have modern hardware, since Vista is about 200% faster than XP but your new hardware has to be 400% faster than your old machine for you to see this difference. RL |

| | Re: switching back to XP "...want to remove vista? Vista is sent by god." I never suggested any such thing and you know it. You seem to attribute ideas to me that are simply never conveyed. However that FACT goes against your blind hate of Microsoft agenda. When you can not use facts, you fabricate FICTION, and you do that often. Another typical post from you. When you are unable to contribute anything of value, your ego needing to post prevails and we see your typical attack. It is noted that as usual you have contributed NOTHING to the OP. Another handle used by you to escape and and make a vain effort to hide. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar "vista user 43" <fuv@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:4767f02b@xxxxxx-privat.org...
