Installing Vista again after uninstalling Vista to XP
Hi, I have recently upgraded to Vista using an HP express upgrade disc and find it not as satisifing (yet) as I expected. So I want to revert back to XP using my XP recovery disc I created before I've upgraded and later during the months or years I would reinstall Vista when maybe SP2 comes out or something. So I was just wondering if when you install Vista again after unistalling Vista...

Upgrade or full version?
I bought Vista and installed it on my desktop. I mistakenly thought I could also install it on my laptop. I was able to install it on the laptop as well for a short time but just recently it advised that the copy was not genuine. When I called Microsoft I learned then that it could only be installed on one computer and that I should buy another. My question is do I need to buy the f...

After installing Vista Home Premium on my desktop computer, I turned on ISS, and moved the default website to a folder in Documents, which is where I prefer it. When I tried to browse to the site, I got a message saying there was an "Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error".

Installing VistaBootPro on XP?
You regulars know that questions about installing XP after Vista are very common. The major problem is that Vista's boot manager needs to be re-installed afterwards to allow dual booting between XP and Vista. Using VistaBootPro seems to me the easiest way for a newbie to reinstall the Vista boot manager, but that same newbie is not able to boot back into Vista after installing his new XP...

This prevented losing system settings and having to reinstall applications. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824125/en-us However, there is no similar article for Vista and, before I replace a motherboard, I wanted to kno...
