You have two options: perform a clean install of Windows XP, or roll back
from Vista to XP.

In the first case you need an XP installation or recovery media (disk). You
do not have to uninstall Vista, it will be overwritten. Remember to back up
your files and folders first.

In the second case you have to have the folder windows.old on your system
drive. Follow the instructions on this help page:

Not quite accurate. You left out quite a bit of very important stuff.
However, it doesn't matter because you are using a web interface that
leeches Usenet newsgroups posts and because you didn't stay in the original
thread and because you didn't quote any of the post to which you are
replying - therefore, no one knows what you are talking about. Most of us
use real newsreaders to access Usenet so we don't see the same fake forum
you are seeing. It is very easy to set up a newsreader. More information:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn
to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:
