    Can a system pre-installed with Windows Vista be manually downgraded to Windows XP?

    No, you can't downgrade. But you can probably * clean install * Windows XP.

    I say "probably" because there is a potential problem with drivers XP being available for all hardware. If the computer is a laptop, this risk is greater. So check with the manufacturer or on their web site to make sure that all the drivers you need do not exist for XP.

  • Parallels VM - vm windows as a guest operating system - it can actually install on Windows (vista) VMS

    I bought Dw autonomous cs6 for windows and installed on a desktop computer once...? This means that I can install in your laptop? This laptop can be a Mac with Parallels VM - vm windows as a guest operating system - so can actually install on Windows (vista) vm?

    Usually with Adobe software you can install and run on up to two systems - including virtual machines - provided that they are not used at the same time.

    To move your license, it is also relatively simple to transfer the software between computers, if that's what you never want or need to do.

  • What is the largest HDD size that can be used with Windows Vista Home Premium

    Can you tell me this as the largest capacity hard drive that can be used in a computer Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with an Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 GHz processor.  The laptop came with a 160 GB HARD drive.

    Largest you can currently buy and probably larger that your mother/hardware card takes in charge.

    ~ 18 exabytes.

    Your limit is probably more capped by material (and possibly the cost) than the software.  :-)

  • Acer aspire 4330 laptop doesn't detect USB HUB under Vista

    Windows vista sp2.  Acer aspire 4330 laptop with intel celeron 575 2.0GHZ 667FSB.  USB hub has power source

    computer will recognize the hard drive or any device on plugin directly from the computer.  I tried unplugging hub and all the rest, stop, turn on and plug in Usb hub with hard drive.  No luck.  off universal host adapters - disaster - froze up was to restore.  Entered the management of feeding and unchecked "turn off hub, if it is in use to save energy" all these tips on the internet, but none worked.  real people need to microsoft, the anonymous general Internet.  asked if faulty usb hub, have a new "brand" on command.  will help isolate prob.  Please notify.

    Create a system restore point and try to disable and re-enable the USB host controllers. I suspect that the USB drive itself is at fault because of the external power supply. I would not exclude the possibility of a hardware failure of the USB. I would check with the manufacturer.

  • How can I get a Windows Vista x 64 installation CD?

    My laptop (HP Pavilion dv9000) comes preinstalled with Vista, and now the guy who repaired it gave a sort of trial version of Windows 7. I really want to go back to Vista, as I have the product key and all.

    Hi Zoco,

    Since your HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop is pre-installed with Windows Vista, you must get in touch with HP support to get the Vista install disc to perform the installation or to get help to perform a complete restore to factory settings.

    HP support

    Note: Make sure that you have your data backed up and secured prior to reinstalling or restoring to factory.

  • Unhappy with Windows Vista

    I got a laptop HP pre installed with Windows vista for about 3 years. For the majority of these 3 years I had an internet card provided by Verizon. Recently, I've upgraded to their Wi - Fi called MI-Fi device. Now, it works on all my computer that does not have windows vista.

    To be honest, Windows Vista is a piece of ____.  There are several errors and is practically unusable, because the internet does not work properly. I've seen several instances of this problem with no answer as to what is the problem acctually. I have a registry cleaner and spyware detector, the whole shabang.

    I am so disappointed that microsoft has not successfully delivered this program and find these errors prior to the placing on the market.

    If there is really a bug of Vista in this regard, we could be inundated with
    millions of identical complaints like yours here. Because it is not the
    case, the source of your problem is elsewhere.  From my experience, HP will make
    anything to point the finger elsewhere.  Have you tried the HP user
    Support forum?
