Is it possible to downgrade from vista to xp?
No. Downgrades are never supported.
However you may be able to install Windows XP cleanly (which entails
the loss of everything presently on the drive). You can do that only
if drivers for your all your hardware are available. How old is the
computer, and is it a desktop or a laptop. If it's a recent laptop
that came with Vista, you will likely not be able to get the drivers
you need.
Also be aware that if you have a new computer that came with Vista,
and you change the operating system, your vendor may feel that your
doing so voids the warranty on the computer.
I am having issues with several
of my favorite programs being compatable with vista.
What programs? How do you know they aren't compatible?
What was an easy task w/
XP is Now a long dilema with vista.
Like anything else that's new and different, it takes time to learn
how to use it and get accustomed to the differences . My view is that
it's worth taking the time, and going back to an old operating system
is a mistake.
