I cant open the computer because of Vista is there a way to install XP over that? even when vista isnt allowing me to use the computer?? thanks
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.
There is no version of Internet Explorer 7 for Vista but you can try to install Windows XP version: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
I know this has been asked before, but after searching all over the net, and here, I can't find a clear answer.
I just bought a new computer. It came preloaded with Windows Vista. I don't want Vista, I much prefer XP for, for now at least. I tried to install Windows XP. I can make it all the way to the Install screen and it starts to load my drivers however the percentage bar freezes at 34% complete. I left it sit for 2 hours hoping it would pick up, but to no avail. I ran across a tip somewhere saying to load DOS and search for inf files etc etc but even that didn't work.
I'm at a total lose here.
Try a USB to PS/2 adapter. Your keyboard should have come with one. If not, try your local estore.
I wan't to uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP Home Edition . How can i do that ???
Hi all - Sorry if this topic has already been discussed. I couldn't find it in the forum. If I've missed it, please direct me to the post!
I recently bought a copy of Vista overseas in Asia (out of a giant $4.99 bucket, so I seriously doubt it's legitimacy) and installed it on my system. The software came with instructions to disable or 'crack' the 30-day activation code by changing time and date settings. I gave that a go, but the next day the software was already "expired" and it is not letting me access any of my files or programs unless I go through 'SAFE MODE'.
I have decided to just wait until the official release of Vista, and to buy myself a real legit copy. However, in the meantime, I would like to re-install Windows XP on my computer without formatting my hard drive or losing drivers and settings. But, when I load the XP disc in Vista, the option to "Install Windows XP" is disabled. How do I get around this?
