I didn't like Windows 2000 and decided to go back to Windows 98, but I recall having to go through a lot of grief to re-format the drive so that it would be in the FAT 32 mode, rather than whatever it was with Windows 2000. Am I going to run into the same problem trying to get rid of Windows XP, and going back to

Beyond that, computers always came with an OEM "restore" disk (which will restore more than I want to restore) and I haven't felt inclined to spring for the $300 for a retail copy that I can only run on a single computer without going back to Microsoft for a new authroization code (or going there at all for the

VB6 works fine on XP but not Vista - Error 445
The main lock-up's I have are programs 'Not Responding' or 'Stopped Working', my system is brand-new and top spec and I rarely had these problems in XP, if you have an XP installation disc and are confident you can install XP by yourself then I would recommend removing Vista and putting XP back on your system.

Laptop, XP, and Windows 98
Avid gamers should think twice about upgrading to XP. For others, it's a much easier decision. I'ma gamer, and I've been running w2k for years. Just switched to XP. But, I'm _not_ going back to 98/ME, ever. So the games and drivers are going to have to meet me, not the other way around. Games and cards that aren't

Removing XP and going back to blank hard drive
I *might* scrub the drive and do a clean install of XP but most likely I'm going to be going back to Windows Me, which is a pretty 2nd-rate OS in its own right in my humble opinion, but at least my printer will work. If you check the Microsoft discussion area you will see an enormous number of people whose printers

B CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINS AOL
When it installs, it gets to the Black Windows XP screen with the 'little speed bar going back & forth, then fades out to a blank screen, the hard drive lite dims to short fast blips & locks.

XP Uninstall Files
Just, as requested, giving my reasons for going back to 2000. If it's any consolation, I'm with you, and there are quite a few others. I used XP through the betas, and it worked well for a beta, but now that reality has set in, there are just too many snags. Cameras don't work, scanners don't, PCI cards don't,
