Can't uninstall vista
I am trying to uninstall vista from my computer. It origionally. I do have the file Windows.old
I have tried using the different methods i found online but ended up having to install vista about 3 more times. I do not have the windows xp disk as it was preinstalled on my computer. I just want to go back to Windows XP. Vista has way too many issues. someone please let me know what to do asap. I have classes online and i don't want to fluck out because of these issues with my computer.

Hello! well you'll need to borrow a win xp disk from a friend and install xp using the product key that came with your computer. If not you'll have to try and contact the company that made your computer and get one from them.

Most systems have a restore partition on the hard drive try rebooting and look for a factory restore setting when booting up as you'll need to press F11 or something like that.
