You don't "uninstall" Vista. You can install another OS like WinXP.

Do you have a WinXP install disc?

What problems are you having with Vista?
What are your computer specifications?
Perhaps, we could help.

Just boot up on the XP CD.

But, most of your software will probably run on Vista.

Hi Dave, I tried it along with MS tech support (7 hours worth) and it stops.
When I try to install some of my software it says that it isn't supported by
Vista...some of it runs, the rest doesn't. The machine has an OEM version of
Vista and only a recovery CD

Hi mhmh,

Have you tried using Compatibility Mode to run or install the program?
It may help you.

Well, I'll give it a try later...now I have an editorial deadline and am
using older computer. Specifically I tried to install MS ImageComposer from
the older version of Front Page and though it works, it comes up with an
error message. Probably one of the best screen-shot and resizing utilities
