I installed vista ultimate but dont like it and it slows my PC down but i dont know how to get XP back on. There is no XP disc as it is on the PC already. Also when i installed vista my speakers stopped working and moniter speakers, ive tried everything and cant get them working. Will they start working again once i get XP back on? Please help a complete pc dummy

Any help would be gratefully received

Hi amanda - welcome to PCHF

If vista was on the PC to begin with then you will need to buy an XP disc, these can be picked up for as little as £55. Look around and find a copy and then you can install xp.

Thanks. No XP was already on the PC but didn't come with the disk because its built in.

Yep you will require to purchase an XP disc then.

You will find (at least I did) that going from Vista to XP is not straight forward. Even if you have an XP disk.
Also regarding different sound or no sound. I have found that Vista handles sound differently than XP and requires a new Vista compatible sound (card) driver. The sound and other drivers that came with your motherboard are probably for XP. This is what I found out when I built from scratch a Vista system using the latest Core2DUO setup from Intel.

Yep a lot of beta drivers are around though
