Joe Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have loaded Vista Ultimate on to my laptop and I have found out my laptop specification isn't up to running Vista very well. Consequently I have to load Windows XP Pro back on to my laptop but the copy I have is corrupted, can anyone help me out with a copy please? Reasonable price will be paid.

You'll need to format your hard drive and reload windows xp. That is what I'll need to do, hence the need for a working copy of windows xp pro. I am on vista on my laptop just now, but I can't do feck all other than connect to the internet, I can't get updated drivers or nothing, right now my windows vista disk would make a good feckin ashtray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Just saw you post Joe, are you sorted for a disk yet?. If not, I can get you a disk, but I will not be back at home for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST SID Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Might be something else but when installing Vista there is a bit of patience required as there is a point when it looks like it has crashed / doing hee-haw. If you f"k around with it in anyway during that time, and it can last for about 20-40 minutes a full reinstall is required. Once it is up and running it is alright with a bit of a learing curve to orientate yourself with all the f"king about MS have done. Symantec have also lost the f'k'n plot and the learning curve for Norton is a nightmare - like Trend Micro now. Plus nearly everything I have installed on it has required software patches downloaded. If you can wait, then wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to that, Vista learns your behaviour over time, so the first couple of days you might find a new install of vista pretty slow, but once it learns your habits, it zips along at a decent rate.
