How do i Downgrade AcerAspire 5720 vista to xp

hie folks,
i recently bought myself an acer aspire 5720 laptop.
everything works fine until recently i realize the laptop is a little slow,
it lags sometimes, the sounds automatically stops working and then resumes play, and the screen flickers whereby i would have to reset the pc to scroll between windows again.

most of the previous device drivers don't really function well with vista too.

best solution is to downgrade, as i prefer XP more.

would it be wise if i gather the 5720 xp drivers, and then simple format from dos and install XP ?

or you folks might have other suggestions in order to ensure the perfect method in successfully doing this

 

I wrote up this little guide when I got rid of Vista for XP on my Extensa 5620. It may well pertain to your model also. Hope it helps

 

charredpc - fantastic write up. great indeed.

anyways im planning to follow every move step by step,

heres another question - i visited the support site u linked on your article, somehow for aspire 5720 they only have vista drivers ?

does that mean i'll never be able to get this running on xp ?
or is there any other compatible drivers from different models that i may be able to use ?


thanks so far,... looking forward for the future read.

 

if you check the drop-down menu carefully, for vista drivers, you'll notice that many drivers are named with xp string (and if you need something essential not available, like a chipset or a vga driver just take it from Intel website, ATI, Nvidia, etc).
For example look for laptop chipset 965 express on intel website, or GMA for X3100 graphic card...

bye

this walk-thru will work for you... and the drivers should work too,, since the 5720 and the 5315 both use the acadia motherboard
