Meow!

LOL, OK I'm still waiting on my collegues for a decent rollback strategy. The official instructions that I have located don't sound like a good plan AT ALL! So, I will send out another request for suggestions.

We never give up here M8, very stubborn we are, lol. But we usually get results. In the mean time, I am scanning the sources I have for another go at the Gateway dropoff issue.

Be back soon,

Why aren't your looking good in that picture!

Hahaha, I love this forum, to bad I can't help people

Anyways thanks for all the help, if you can't find a way I think I can get my dad's work to completely reformat it and put Windows Vista Ultimate on it (For FREE) when he comes back from vacation.

Thanks if you do find a solution earlier than please share just in case another CAT has the same issue and is searching the interwebs for help.

Thanks AGAIN, and happy helping.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying yourself. Sometimes a little friendly interaction is all anyone needs to feel better about what is going on with their PC, and you can definitely help with that!

In the mean time, I'd really like to find a fix for this, for you and the others who are dealing with it.

However, if worse comes to worse, getting a free upgrade isn't a bad thing, as long as it's legal .

OK M8, keep an eye out for our posts, and we'll keep swinging.

Alrighty, going to bump in here

I've been using Windows 7 since it first got on the internet, if you're willing to go it a final go, the best solution I've found for driver problems is to download the Windows Vista versions of the drivers and right click the installer, go to compatibility, and select run in compatibility mode, and select Windows Vista.

If however you're not wanting to do that and just want to jump back to Vista, the only way I know of is to install over Windows 7.

Now, this is what you do:

- Insert Vista DVD
- Reboot
- Boot from DVD
- Select to install Vista
- Select Advanced install or w/e it's called (the one that's not Upgrade)
- Select the Windows 7 HD/partition
- It should prompt you that "A Windows installation is already present blah blah Move old files to Windows.old?"
- If it does, click OK
- Let it install, when it's all done and on the Vista desktop, you'll find all your files in the Windows.old folder on your C drive

If it doesn't give you that option, post back here
