Solve : Downgrading from Windows Vista to XP possible?? |
|
Answer» http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9172511&type=product&id=1218043606827 <-- the computer I'm currently running. I've thought long and hard about it, and I've DECIDED that Windows Vista is most likely the reason this computer is not running optimally. The only question is, is it possible to downgrade a computer that was built around Vista, to the lower version XP? Would I have to look up each individual driver, to make sure they'll all be compatable with the older software, or would they automatically configure? Thanks AHEAD of time!If the computer was "built around" Vista why do you think Vista is the reason it isn't running optimally? Has it started slowing down or having problems since you first got it?

There is not sure way to say that it would do better with XP. And yes, you can downgrade it. But it is much more trouble that most people want.It has been fairly slow and bad with CPU usage, as I think I posted here about a month ago. Decided to restart the computer from scratch today, it seems to be running a bit better, not as much issue. Only problem I'm getting now is that every time I walk around a big city in my game, it disconnects me from the internet entirely. I'll have to figure that one out... maybe run as administrator or turn some firewalls off.

I'll have to figure that one out...Maybe you would post a nee topic on the games area. The problem may be SPECIFIC to on-line games. Sounds more like a game problem rather than vista problem. Strictly speaking there is NOTHING wrong with Vista. As long as you keep your updates open and use it as it should be used then... I have no real problems.[every time I walk around a big city in my game, it disconnects me from the internet entirely. [/quote] Have you not considered your internet connection? Or If your on Vista a check on your game performance SCORE?Sorry I'm not that very good at the quotes!!

Next rub out what you don't want, put in some dots. Write a reply. Send. Cheers Geek!!"or turn some firewalls off." Just a thought, but more than one firewall at a time will probably give you strange problems. Of course, one is necessary. |
