The Vista -> XP conversion is not going real well. I have XP installed now, but it was a major headache and took forever to accomplish. The good news is I learned about some things that I had no clue about before, like slipstreaming. The bad news is that Dell doesn't even offer XP drivers for my system, so getting things back up and running is going to be a real pain. I actually had to physically remove my network card to get a model number off of it so I could Google the manufacturer and get a driver. Ai-yi-yi! If the network card doesn't work right away with this driver, and I do mean IMMEDIATELY, I'm reinstalling Vista and praying for the soon release of service pack 1.

Now you know how I feel everytime I get on my computer, I HATE Vista!! My friend Matt told me that he could put XP on my laptop, but I am afraid I would lose something.

Dude, that seriously sucks! My father-in-law has Vista and I've used it a little and don't like it at all. I'm wanting a new computer, but NOT wanting to deal with Vista. Well - I'm not getting one for a while, so it's not gonna be a problem - for now! :)
Good luck in getting it running smoothly!
