• How can I uninstall Vista and put Xp back on__

  How can I uninstall Vista and put Xp on, Windows Installer could help to put Xp back on?

  General information about replacing Vista with XP:

  A. on a computer OEM (HP, Sony, etc.):

  1. go to the OEM Web site and find the XP drivers for your specific model computer. If there is no XP drivers, you can not install XP. End of the story. If there are drivers, download them and store them on a CD - R or USB thumbdrive. you will need after installing XP.

  2. check with the OEM - either since their technical support site, either as - to see if you will cancel your warranty if you do this. If void you your warranty, you make the decision.

  3. If the OEM supports XP on the machine, call them and see if you can qualify to demotion and ask them to send you a XP restore disc. This is by far the easiest and best way to put XP on the machine.

  4. if XP is supported on the machine but OEM does not have a disk to restore XP for you, understand that you will need to buy a copy of XP to your favorite online or brick/mortar store retail.

  5. also understand that you will need to do a fresh install of XP, so if you have any data you want back first.

  6. If none of the above applies to you because you can't run XP which return (see point 1 above), the computer of the machine and buy a running XP instead.

  B. on a generic/home computer built (of the non - OEM company)-you will need the drivers for all your hardware. See the second link below for more details:

  Hello

  Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

  Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

  Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

  Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

• I am a user of windows vista and you want to use windows xp, then I have to do?

  I am a user under windows vista license so can I use Windows xp?
  If so, how?
  If not what do I have to use windows xp?

  You must have a copy of Windows XP, which is no longer made or sold. If you can find one, you can buy it.
  Then you have to reformat your computer and install it instead of vista, ensuring that your computer is capable of running, and the manufacturer of the computer has all the necessary drivers.

• I have Windows Vista and you need to install Windows XP Home Edition. Vista doesn't let me. What can I do? I need XP for my Quick Books program in order to make books. Please help me.

  This computer was given to me by my kids.  I had with Windows Vista already installed.  I also want to install Windows XP to my Quick Books program.  Vista will not let me install XP.  Can you help me?

  Hello

  You don't say how you are trying to install XP and if the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this purpose to activate XP to be installed and run successfully on this subject.

  You will need to go to their website where there should be a section to see if they have XP drivers for your model computer.

  If they have XP drivers available for it, follow the instructions in these links provided in its response to dual boot Vista and XP:

  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

  I prefer the Instructions in the second link.

• I installed firefox Aurora, but can I uninstall it and go back to Firefox 11 if I find the 11 version better? Will I lose the history and bookmarks?

  I installed the new version 13, called Aurora. I currently have, but if I start to dislike the new features (until now I do! But I have to ask) can I 'come back' to the 'good old' Firefox 11?
  Will I be losing my data and settings? History and bookmarks?

  My computer is a Pentium M 1, 6 GHz (2004) and version 11 seemed very stable. I installed Aurora is because I wanted to try your new software.

  Yes, you can uninstall the aurora and install the latest stable version whenever you want without losing the personal data because your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  Thank you

• Uninstalling Vista and formatting of hard disk

  I have a full version of Windows 7 Home Premium, sitting in front of me I would like to install.

  I have backed up everything I want, all photos, videos and documents.

  I have a full of Windows 7, No upgrade, the version full version.

  I don't like on the creation of any kind of backups for my laptop current and Windows Vista.

  I didn't have the startup disk that my laptop came preloaded with Vista.

  How to format this hard drive and wipe her? MSDOS? I tried 'format c:' in the command prompt and he asked something on the disc label. I'm going in the right direction? I don't think that's going to work because I loaded Vista WITH the command prompt, and to format Vista cannot be active in everything, correct?

  Thank you.

• I hate Firefox 4! Add my favorites now does not work, it is slow and crashes. I run Windows 7. Can I uninstall 4 and go back to the old version? If so, how?

  A former programmer, I am appalled that such a poor version would be released! It reminds me of dealing with Windows 98!

  Sorry to hear that. You can return to the v3.6.16, but in the end, support is removed for that eventually.

  To return to an earlier version, download Firefox 3.6.16

  Then go to add/remove programs and choose to uninstall Firefox 4.0, but don't check the option to delete your bookmarks, customizations etc. Those who will be selected for you so that you can continue to use them when you reinstall v3.6.16

  Restart and then run the downloaded v3.6.16 file.

  Check from time to time if there is any security updates released for this version by clicking help | Look for the updates
