    Make sure you backup all your data. Then re-install Windows using the Vista DVD. If you want to do a real clean install, you have to actually install Vista 2x - search for how to do it on the NBR forums - where others have posted the method.

    Does it make a big difference if I do a REAL CLEAN install? How do I backup my data? The Recovery DVDs I have to make? Thanks in advance.
