To find out if it's a clean post: The programs you installed on XP, are they still installed? If it is, use this guide: http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/188 Good luck, and welcome to NeoSmart Technologies!

If you were unfortunate enough to upgrade then there is no going back. Sorry!

yep, but you could also format and give Vista as a clean install a shot.

Well the upgrade would require you to have an older version of Windows in order to upgrade to XP. Like Windows 2000 or before. I would have to ask if you bought this PC from somewhere like Dell or HP? If so you should have gotten a disc with your PC that would allow you to install XP again. If not you can contact them to get a disc to install XP again so you dont have to buy XP again.

Well, in the absense of the license, you're going to have to buy a new XP disc. An upgrade disc will work.

there is a Vista Upgrade disc work-around. It is long and complicated. Basically it involves installing twice. Who wants to do that.

If you have your serial just get a copy of XP that goes with it and install it.
