hey,

 

i got my vista upgrade and installed it today and i was wondering if theres any way to revert back to xp other than a clean install? the thing is that even after 1 day ive been having nothing but problems with vista and i just prefer xp. the main problem is that even with all the special vista interface things turned off its drastically reduced the performance of my pc. i work with 3d modeling software and with vista my computer slows down with less that 5% of the amount of polygons that xp would run perfectly fine with.

 

if i did a clean install, though, i would lose the pre-installed dell software like cineplayer, roxio dvd burner stuff, and all that, but i dont want to. so is there any other way for me to install xp again without losing the programs? or would i lose them anyway since they were upgraded along with the operating system?

 

i just want a way to go back to xp, i prefer it and it works much better with my pc.

 

thanks ...
