Uninstall Vista And Reinstall Old Xp
Oct 28, 2009
I ran four businesses with Windows XP and Outlook Express email entities. I now have Vista and much to my chagrin, Windows Mail has no such option. I'd like to spend ten minutes alone with an aluminum baseball bat and the whiz kid who thought up that little improvement. Also, the idiotic way to create shortcuts in Vista. I run gun auctions on the internet and need to do shortcuts all the time for various auctions as they update. I now have a Dell Studio XPS 435TM with 12 gig RAM. Can I uninstall Vista and reinstall my old XP program so I can replace Windows Mail with Outlook Express again?

I used to have it on my computer.
But last time I tried to play it didn't work.
It said that I have to re-install it. But when I put the disc in it say that it cant find the location folder.
So I tried to un-install, but it say I cant do that.
I looked through previous threads here, and found one about how to delete it from the start menu -> regedit etc.
Follewed the intstructions, but I dont have a EA game folder, Maxis folder or any other folder for the game.

At the moment I have no Office because I was advised when Word 2003 would crash on start and have to be restarted in safe mode to uninstall and reinstall it. Now I can't get it loaded at all. My very expensice IT guy spent 2 hours and gave up the HP people (this is a brand new laptop) said Vista isn't compatible with Office Pro 2000 which we upgraded from...I have 8 computers running 2003...The other issue is that when I click on a message in hotmail it crashes. No message, just a freeze. What a hassle - I have no Outlook because of problem 1 and no hotmail because of problem 2. Wish I'd been warned... I guess I really was - all those HP machines with extra cost to be 'downgraded' to XP.

Some trouble with IE & FireFox yesterday & I've
come to the conclusion it's probably best if I reinstall windows.
I don't care about losing everything & starting from scratch as
everything important I have on a seperate hard drive anyway.
The only problem is, I was never given a Windows Vista disk with this
laptop & don't think I have ever had one.
How would I go about either doing a repair installation or just doing a
complete Windows reinstallation without a start-up disk?

How could I reinstall my Windows Vista (currenlty Home Premium version) keeping my software installed and running as is? In previously released versions of Windows , as Windows XP, user could choose to repair the current installation of windows through setup. Is there a way to do a repair install like this?

I reinstalled Vista over the original operating system and then found I had lost my registration code to my ms office home and student 2007. I've heard of Belarc but the new system is in effect now. I did ask to have the old saved but don't have enough techie to know if I can access it to get the reg code for my ms suite.

Well I've been able to get this stupid MSI P6N Diamond MB to run okay but just getting fustraited over the way it would act up. Anyway I ended up going shopping and now have a Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition Processor, GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P 1366 X58 MB and 12 gigs of CORSAIR DOMINATOR (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 on the way. Hopefully I will die before I ever need to upgrade anything else.....
Well with upping the memory, figured 12 would be better than 6 for x64 systems now the PSU calculator says I will need 566W so still less than my PSU. Only other thing I wonder is is Vista smart enough that I can just move the HD's from my current sytem or should I expect that I'll have to reformat and reinstall Vista x64

What I want to do is reinstall vista because of errors/corruption but do not want to reinstall all my programs, licenses etc.. I read that Ghost can do this but it also takes with it the OS. I want to ghost the drive then my put all the programs minus the old Vista on to my freshly reinstalled vista. How can I do this and what program will work?

While working in Vista Home Premium I experienced a recent system failure and I do not know if it was caused by a virus. I had the AVG Free Edition installed and it was up to date. I decided to perform a clean reinstall using the Vista DVD Installer, but at a certain point a message appears onscreen informing that Vista can not be installed, and that some required files may be missing or corrupt. It also points that there might be a hard disk failure. However, I was able to perform a clean reinstall for openSuse to keep working with my PC. Before the Vista system failure, the double booting process had been working well for more than a year.

Vista has been corrupted. With previous versions of Windows it was an easy fix to just reinstall right on top of current installation - I called it an overlay. Any missing/corrupted .dll things were put right and I got to keep my data. Anyone know whether this will work with Vista? Also, this is a Gateway pc and they have some crazy partitions with a backup section that I think is just a space waster.

I am running Vista Home 32bit on an Acer T180. I recently upgraded the CPU from an Athlon Sempron to a Athlon 64 X2. Now when I boot the PC, Vista freezes as it boots. I can still boot into Safe Mode and also using a Live Linux DVD. Also, surprisingly, sometimes Vista will boot and will run fine and both cores of the CPU are recognised. I obviously need to solve this problem, but am unsure how to proceed.
After the PC freezes, I reset it and after a reboot am taken to a screen with the safe mode option that also advises using the Vista repair option. I have a DVD of Vista (not an OEM, but without SP1) but I have installed SP1 on the PC.......

My computer freezes from time to time and I think I tried everything to locate what the problem could be. The event logs show nothing, I ran a memory test with no problem, (I have 4Gb), I checked my drive and had no problems. All my drivers are up to date and I have all the latest updates/service packs. So my last hope is to re-install Vista. Are there any easy steps to re-install Vista? Or do I have to format my machine and start from scratch? I don't want to re-install office and so on.

After being unable to install SP2 for Ultimate, my computer now says that I have to re-install Vista. Is there a way to get my data from the computer before doing this. I was in the process of backing up all of my inventory for my store and it reset on its own.

I want to reinstall Vista using the provided recovery disks using my laptop, and then set up 7 as a dual boot. You know, have Vista for those games, and have 7 for everything else.
I have an Asus G51VX-RX05, which also is referred to as simply G51VX (Best Buy). Yes, I've heard it a million times, don't buy a computer at best buy. I know, I know. I won't do it again, I promise. So I want to use the provided recovery discs from my laptop to reinstall Vista. When I was installing 7 over Vista, I followed this: Clean Install Windows 7 - How to Perform a Clean Installation of Windows 7 - Part 1 of 3...........

I rebuilt my home PC yesterday. I had a 40GB HDD on which I had Vista Premium and my Applications. THIS WAS running out of space. I had a 30 GB hard disk on which I had all my docs....plenty of space on this. I removed the 40GB disc, installed a new 320GB disc (along with a new video card, power supply, RAM and DVD burner) and rebooted using F1 command, from DVD, and installed OEM Vista Ultimate which computer shop sold me as best (read: cheapest) way to go to Ultimate - especially as I was rebuilding so much of my PC...IS THAT RIGHT? . All went fine.......BUT I failed to notice until after activating Vista that I had installed it on the second HDD (the small 30 GB one 'left over' from my original PC configuration!!!!!...

I will soon be receiving a new Everex pre-installed with Vista. I also have new-in-box full version XP sp2 with the intent to downgrade as soon as I receive the computer. Since the computer does not have an older version of Windows, and you cannot uninstall Vista, what steps will it take to downgrade the new system. Please point me in the right direction.

I have one the strangest bugs ever created; and no one else seems to get it. I cannot detect any (very very few; not even my XP Machines, will explain
soon) of my computers on any network (wireless) I connect to. When I installed Vista bare clean, it did detect my netword computers, even the XP ones. But now, I feel like I should reinstall Vista. But, I really don't want to restore all (I have over 40gb) of my data. That would just take forever. Is there anyway at all to restore ALL Vista's Networking features/software to normal. Or back to default. I cannot restore using System Restore. I have been having this for about a month now, and it really messes me up! Over a week of using it, I just cannot detect any of my Networks. I can in Ubuntu; but not in Vista (my primary OS). I really love Windows. But, this is one of the worst glitches I have ever had with it.
Is it possible to reinstall Vista's Network and Sharing Center? I really want to detect my XP machines again. You might say, install LTDD (??) onto the XP machines. Well, the problem is, it still does not work. When I was using this PC a while ago, they were detected fine. But now, I cannot find any PC (hardly any; dunno why) on my network. This even happens at my Local Library. My friend searched, and he found over 200.
