• How can I uninstall 8 and back to 7?

  I can't stand that constant stream of updates. Once more, FF break important extensions with an upgrade frequent unnecessarily.

  Enough. I can't stand these unnecessary hassle. The main reason I use FF instead of others is the extension available. Keep break extensions... and he lost not only my time but it means that I can use as something else, right?

• How can I remove Vista and replace it with XP on a Dell laptop without losing my partition to factory?

  Vista has conflicts and no current update on my laptop and the mouse keyboard, so it is erratically. Since an upgrade of Vista has been added to my laptop, it has been in place. The cursor seems to have a mind of its own and I can't change the mouse settings. There is not an update to Vista since the device mouse or keyboard. After countless hours of lost looking for a solution, I decided to give up the garbage of Vista and I refuse to pay more money for the upgrade to Windows 7. So I want to go back to XP, but I can not install XP with the installation disc that came with the laptop. It stops the installation and tells me that I have a newer version of Windows. What I read, I have to do a clean install, but I want to do, so I do not lose the hidden partition that has been installed by Dell. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've used Windows years but this abortion of Vista is too heavy for me. And it's like cancer, I can't seem to get rid of it! Time to think about a Mac soon, I guess.

  A clean install will go to the C:\ drive and does not affect your partition recovery disk D:\ (as long as you tell him installed on C:\ assuming the disk that is the drive of the current system and disk D:\ is the recovery disc).  Note that, with a clean install you will lose all your data (everything on the partition - not everything on the disc if it has more than one partition) then you should backup your data first.

  Here is more information on the operation of a clean install: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp.

  Frankly, I would transfer this question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where the people who specialize in Windows Update issues will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  Perhaps, it can be fixed without the need to resort to the downgrading to XP (and these people would be able to help as best as we).

  Keep in mind that Mac have their own set of problems - different from Windows, but they are not without problems (and you probably have some software that works with Windows and it would be a shame to lose that).  You just need to help solve your problem (or, if you wish, to return to XP which is probably more stable than Vista).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  Hi Helen,

  If you try to start from scratch, the new facility is the option.

  Note: after a clean installation, all data, programs, and drivers on the computer will be lost. It is recommended to make a backup of your important data before performing any installation. You need to reinstall the device drivers. Make sure that you back up office documents before re-formatting of the computer.

  You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to reinstall Windows Vista.

  Installation and reinstallation of Windows Vista

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

  Insert the office disc and start the Setup (.exe), follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

• I hate windows 8. How can I uninstall it and loading windows 7

  I just bought an HP computer and it came with Windows 8, responsible on this issue. I tried 6 tasks in the past three weeks and each of them was a pain in the thigh. I had problems to the administrator, compatibility issues unique to other tray printer issues and much more. It is simply not worthy of the effort. Should I return the computer and buy a new one with Windows 7, or should I buy a copy of 7 and load it on top of this mess?

  You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.
