Hello, I have a Sony VGN TX15P laptop that came with XP preinstalled. I received a Windows Vista Business upgrade disc and have installed it on the laptop. It has significantly slowed my system down. I really like the Vista Business OS but can't stand the delays. I created back-up discs before I installed Vista. Is it possible to re-install Windows XP from the back-up discs? Or is there anyway to speed up the machine thru power management, start-up programs, etc? The specs are:

Intel 1.2 Ghz single core processor
80GB HD
1GB memory

I would appreciate any assistance.

Hey...

I seem to be having a very annoying problem with my start menu! When I hover over items that are supposed to expand (Documents, Music and the like), quite often they pop up in empty boxes!

Has anybody had this problem before? I guess the only slightly unusual thing I'm doing is using a second hard drive as the locations of my Documents, Music, etc folders - But that should be fine.

My system is...

AMD Athlon 64 3400
ATi X800 XT Platinum Edition
