Wullie! 8 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have Vista on my laptop. It came preinstalled, so I never bothered changing it. Recently its starting getting annoying, and I've been considering changing it to XP. I have the disk here. Should I? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 do a search for the drivers first before you do anything. If you cant find all of them maybe try windows 7 as alot of people on here have been giving it goood reports Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have any major problems with it either, but if you were to use Windows 7, you'd see how Vista should have been. I'm on Mac now anyway, that is better than Windows imo.

Wullie! 8 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 I've never had any problems with Vista. Really don't understand people's problems with it. Same. Not one problem. I used to think that, but the last few months its been going downhill for me. I haven't done anything unusual, but suddenly a lot of my programs have started crashing on me. Things like Firefox, WLM and Windows media player doesn't even open anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie! 8 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 So I downloaded Windows 7, put it on disk and started the install. Formatted the drive, and began installation. 30 mins later I got an error message. Retried, same thing. Left with no OS, except the Linux disk I had lying around from a while ago. Moral of the story: if it ain't broke, don't break it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought new DVDs, and now I'm back on Vista. Windows Media Player works now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
