Okay having purchased a Toshiba laptop with Vista installed, I am now tempted to install XP on it because everthing I want to install on it has no drivers for Vista Ie Camera wont connect, A card reader, Bluetooth dongle, and more

Basicually if I install XP on it will it work okay with installed componants ie wireless, dvd writer

thanks

Don't think you'll have any problems finding drivers, but download and store them before installing XP, makes it easier to get the laptop going again.

And yes, Vista is pants. We have to deal with it at work (IT support). Absolutely hate it. Reminds me of Windows ME. 98se worked just fine, then they dropped a fancy suit and some bells and whistles onto it and killed it. Same with XP. Works fine, then they turn it into Vista.  :roll:

Im with you guys on this one, i've lost about 4 days of work, and had to renew all my programs, because nothing works properly with Vista. Some new laptops wont have xp compatable drivers though, as i found out to my cost.

Bill Gates..........Dick Turpin more like. :x

I have just been onto Toshiba about it.....All the drivers I require for it are downloadable from there website

So looks like I am going to be busy tonight

The only good thing I've heard anyone say about Vista is regard the proxy filters at college where all the halls are on wireless internet acess. A friend got vista and found it just completely by passed the proxy automatically, which is very handy as the proxy systems at college is a very poor example, the sort were it prevents you looking work related web pages and the stuff your not ment to look at it lets through unaffected.
