Subject: oooh- how do I go back to XP???? I would love to junk this vista and get xp again
In reply to: JAG Junkie (Ronda)--thankful that the "other woman" is just a computer game. LOL 's message, "I should mention that DH tried Vista, hated it so much that he reformatted and went back to XP. He's a total computer nerd and knows all about getting updated drivers, etc., but after several frustrating weeks, decided that he would wait until all the Vista bugs got worked out before he would switch. Vista kept crashing his online games, among other problems. And if DH can't play World of Warcraft, then all the world must stop. LOL" on 13:17:57 11/18/07 Sun

[> [> [> [> Assuming you have an XP disc that hasn't been activated too many times, you would have to reformat your hard drive (which equates to erasing it--hope you have an external HD to save files to) and start over from scratch. You would have to install and set up everything. On the plus side, that would be the perfect time to partition your hard drive, since a lot of computers you buy in the store come with just one gigantic unpartitioned hard drive. Ugh! -- JAG Junkie (Ronda)--depending on how much stuff you have on your computer, it could take days to reformat and start over., 17:03:24 11/18/07 Sun [1]
