    Go to your nearest pc store, and buy XP. You pop in the XP cd into yuor drive, press F12 when you turn your PC on and boot from CD. Then make sure it formats over Vista, and wa-la, your pc will should be good (you need to find/install the drivers though).

    If you do not want to hunt for all the drivers after downgrading: contact PortableOne and speak to Ivan. I have never found one person more helpful or accommodating as him.

    Note: I am not related to this company and I do not even live in the US. I am in Toronto, Canada ... he was that helpful.
