Switch from Vista to XP

I want to switch from Vista back to XP. How do I do that?

Back up everything

Get the drivers for XP that you need for your hardware, especially
network drivers.

Insert the XP CD

Boot to CD

Delete Vista partition

Create new partition

Install XP.

Copy back backed-up files.

Done.

If you have just just recently purchased the computer (with Vist
pre-installed), you can contact your supplier about downgrade right
from Vista to XP. But just remember that not all suppliers will do this

If your supplier does not have any downgrade options, then you ca
always return the computer and get one with XP instead

Then there is always the option to simply purchase an XP disk, and loa
it yourself. Just be aware that in some cases, this will void you
computer warranty. Also remmber that if your computer was pre-loade
with Vista, then you may not be able to find the appropriate XP driver
for it. This is true especially of laptops

Those are just about your only options

But why would you want to go back to XP anyway? Vista is by far th
better choice. Are you experiencing any problems in particular that w
may be able to help you with

Get someone that knows what he is doing or stick with Vista

How do I contact my supplier?
Where can I buy the disk and for how much?

Well, I have always used XP, and everything seems much easier to get around
with in it. Also, I have some games and I've been reading into it that Vista
is what can be creating problems with it. Also, Vista takes up 1GB of RAM.
All that I can see that is cool about Vista is the layout and gadgets.

You're kidding me, right? You don't know how to contact your supplier?
Wher did you buy your computer? Those will be the guys to ask.

A Windows XP Pro disk should cost around US$100 - US$150, depending on
where you buy it.

That depends really on the game. I've been running some games that
where mainstream in 2000/2001 (Diablo II in particular), and they
actually run better on Vista than they ever did. Check the game house
website for updates that may solve any compatibility problems you are
having with tier games.

If all you're mentioning is the looks and the gadgets, then I must
seriously doubt that you've ever used Vista at all, and that you have
seen nothing more than screenshots. Had you actually been using Vista
for even as little as a week, you'd know by now that the changes are
more that just cosmetic. Sorry for this remark, but your words are most
often reflected by those have have never used Vista.
