You have to buy the full install version of Windows XP (meant for computers
without operating systems). You can NOT use Vista as an upgrade path to
downgrade your computer to Windows XP.

Instead of whinging, if you post your problems, you might get some help.

Wrong Group - Just FYI

Carl,

Shouldn't you be posting to primate.retard.general? You are in the wrong
group. You should be with your own species.

Just FYI.
