Hi Terry.

Personally I find the glitz and requirements on the system resources too much with Vista.

Sticking to Windows XP Pro here by preference for the forseeable future.

Are there XP Drivers available to support your machine?

It is rumoured that if you play a Vista disc backwards, Demonic sounds can be heard,
Even worse if you play it forward it installs Vista:ROFLMAO:
Vista can be fixed HERE

It depends very much on what you want to do.
I have a laptop, upgraded to vista and it was pants. I had to format and go back to xp because there were so many compatability issues. I then brought a new PC with pre installed vista and it works really well. After a couple of months I really got in to it and now would not switch back. It might just be worth sticking with a while longer and seeing how you get on.

Hi Terry,

It is possible to create 2 partitions on the PC using Partitionmagic.

Then install another Operating system to the new Partition.

Surely if the drive were partitioned You could install XP on the new partition yourself Terry.::bigsmile:

To be fair, it's the loading of all the extras required by a customer, that takes the real time.
