Is there instructions on how to downgrade from Vista to XP? I need to get rid of Vista. I can not deal with it anymore. Im pretty sure there is a topic in Afterdawn on how, unfortunately I can not find it.

There's not an official downgrade option for going from Vista to XP. Basically, you have to do a fresh install of Windows XP. You can read about your different options here.

Just make sure your computer has the xp drivers available for it. Some of the newer computers only have vista drivers available.

Being that I just did this with my laptop I have a few suggestions to make it easier... Like others have mentioned... Make sure you have all the nessacery drivers. Wireless, modem, video, audio, High-Def bus (if applicable), etc... Easy way to do that is save them to a flash drive... Otherwise make sure you make/have a way to get Vista back if need be, via recovery disks or a fresh vista disk... One thing I found I needed to do was in my BIOS I needed to disable 'Native SATA Support' because XP wouldn't recognize the drive otherwise, just a possible issue... Hope all goes well, its not always the easiest thing to do...
Here's a website that might help you find drivers:

note these are based on HP computers, but the base drivers for universal parts should work...
