you must be a god.... or goddess!
you said your machine works great now running on xp rather than vista and from reading blogs etc, it so makes sense! problem is, HP and microsoft are in bed and they dont want out! therefore, HP does everything possible to discourage going back to the tried and true XP. I know a lot about the systems and vista taking sooooo much more memory to work, and vista problems with many softwares, and yada yada yada. Me too.
I know plenty enough to get myself in lots of trouble w/ computer stuff. I know how to turn it on and use stuff, but configure.....it's all greek. Im a contractor. When there is a problem, I/we rip it out until the problem is gone and rebuild it. Nails, 2x4's, wire, etc; I can see it and fix it. Computer stuff.....it works or it does not work. Vista does not work. I have never wanted to fix a new computer with a nail gun so bad, but that would be too easy so a hammer would be better.....Please help before I get this far.
Your blog says you fixed your computer by dumping vista and installing xp. I bought XP w/ sp2. sorry, blog is 14+ months old. (microsoft should be bankrupt for creating this vista crap) If I did work like Vista, I would have all callbacks and no profitable work. I cant get XP to get past the pretty blue screen w/ error. Tried twice, and same thing. started looking more up, on and on, and found your success.
Ok, my computer is a new (Nov 0

All the terminology is so greek to me, Im sorry. Cold you walk me/friend through the steps to make my computer kick a$$ like yours please? I will have a friend do it who is an IT director and knows his shtuff.
You could make an OBSCENE amount of money doing this full time due to all the Vista haters.
