Windows Vista

[Guest]

I recently got a new computer with Windows media center edition 2005 with
service pack 2. There was a free Vista upgrade with my computer so I did
that. I dont like vista at all I mean in the beginning it was good but now
I'm finding a lot of things that i dont like about it. Especially because if
I leave my computer on, out of nowhere it just starts loading for some
reason, and it doesn't stop for a very long time unless i restart it. Is
there a way I can delete everything and start all over with Windows Media
Center? like boot disks that i could download somewhere?

Hi,

Reinstall media for WinMCE would have to be supplied to you by the
manufacturer of the system.

You should have the disks to restore your computer to it's original
state, ie: Media Center w SP2. You were very likely given the
opportunity to burn the restore CDs when you first started the
computer. If you didn't do that, you probably shot yourself in the
foot but you might call the manufacturer or check their website to see
if there's a way to restore to original.

See this:

If that doesn't work for you then you'll need to reinstall the OS clean
using whatever means you had from the computer manufacturer to do this.

since you did an UPGRADE from xp to visa, it is usual for your xp license to be absorbed by vista in the upgrade and no longer available.
you will need to contact microsoft to reverse this.
here is a link to a ms article on downgrading.
