Default Downgrading from Vista to XP_Help!
Work at a Print Shop. I bought an Acer Aspire T180.
I need to put some software on it that won't work with Vista.
Can anyone tell me how I can reformat it so I can load
Windows XP Professional on it?
Thanks
Rande

I talked to a computer guy and he said I could reboot on the disk
and maybe reformat that way. But that I would need to load
all the drivers. What drivers would I need to get?
It sounds like this is over my head. Can someone tell me what
drivers or do I need a PC expert to
get through this?
thanks

Before you start re-building the PC, have you tried running that software in Windows compatibility mode?
