I HATE VISTA it sucks monkey Butts....I called for support about 3 weeks ago when I first installed it and I got no help. I have over 250 errors in my system. When I asked why I have these errors when I was told that some of my programs and hardware is not compatable with vista and I would have to wait till the other companies created drivers that work with the Vista OS. I just built this computer and I have a Vista compatable motherboard, ATI 512 Video Card, 3.4 gig pentium D processor, turtle beach digital sound card and 2 gig ddr2 memory... Sorry about my rant...My question is can I reinstall my xp disk and not have to reinstall all of my programs into it or when I install xp again will I loose everything? 3 weeks ago it took me all day to install all of the software and drivers that did work in vista and I was hopeing to avoid that again BUT if I have to I will just to get rid of that sucky vista ....WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY THAT WAS....why would they release a OS that has 0 support and is compatable with nothing...Windows should offer to buy back all of the vista OS from everyone .....They should have a no lemon law for the Vista OS like they do for cars....Anyway ...Thank you for your help
