I have a M1710 XPS that is currently running Vista and I need to go back to XP.  Vista has way to many gaming issues for me and I am tired of having problems running the games that I would like to

 

I need all the help I can get in downgrading to Vista as the Dell Chat Rep was no halp at all excecpt in telling me what DELL WILL NOT PROVIDE.

 

Can anyone help me with any compatability issues I may have with my system, such as my wireless system, video card or any other areas that may cause problems. 

 

 I want to make sure I am set before I try and do this

 

Thanks all
