Put Windows XP CD in CD drive and Install XP.
Sounds like you installed Vista before you checked your hadware for the
ability to run it.

I downloaded & ran the Vista system scanner this morning. During the scan,
my external monitor to my Gateway laptop was disabled. I was able to
re-enable the external monitor (a 21-inch Gateway LCD) but when I got the
resolution size reset and restarted the computer, I got my Webshots
background/screen saver only. There are no longer any desktop icons or
task
bar on the external monitor, only on the laptop screen. I have the
Control
Panel/Display/Settings set to "extend desktop" on the external monitor. I
can move applications from the laptop screen to the external monitor but
can
no longer use the external monitor independently. Also, I have lost the
use
of the FN-F3 toggle to shift from screen to screen. My video adapter is
ATI
GForce 7500. What can I do?
