[bcab] Re: go back to Windows XP?

The only problem I think is you have a laptop, You can Google around and
find legions of VISTA people trying to go back to XP not always not very
successfully.  Ripping out a whole operating system would be a somewhat
disproportionate step to take in resolving networking issues.  If you
are networking with an XP machine have you got service pack three
installed on it, it may help as that service pack contained
infrastructure to communicate with server 2008 which in effect is
VISTA..

Subject: [bcab] go back to Windows XP?


Hi all.
 
I have a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop PC.
 
I am using it with Vista and, while it works OK, there really does seem
to be no doubt to me that Vista is not quite as quick as XP in some
situations, particularly when copying files.  I am also having some
difficulty getting networking to work correctly.
 
I do have a spare copy of Windows XP Home and was wondering about
downgrading to this, after making sure that all motherboard and other
component drivers can be downloaded of course.
 
This PC has 3 GB of RAM.  I have heard that XP will not recognise this
much RAM. is this case, and is this situation changed any with the
introduction of XP Service Pack 3?
 
Regards
 
Graham
