How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Firstly, i will like to thank you all for your responses and concerns regarding my question. I know it sounds odd but the main reason i want to downgrade my windows to vista basic is as a result of a problem i am facing regarding my facebook account.
What happened was that i turn on the login approval in my privacy settings in my facebook account which means that it time i am using a new browser or i have changed my windows,,,i will have to login in to my account using a security code. The major problem here is that i added 2 mobile numbers in my facebook account,,,,,i have changed the first mobile number carrier which facebook have been trying to contact me with my security code and i have contacted facebook help care several times to try to explain to them that i dont longer use my first mobile number which they have been contacting me with and that they should use my second mobile number which i added in my facebook settings or they should send me my security code through my email address but they have not responded.
This is the main reason why i want to return to windows vista basic inother to reclaim and access my facebook account. Elijah Swartz Changing your operating system wouldn't change the issue you are having with facebook's security. Both Vista and Windows 7 can the same browsers. Changing the OS wouldn't change anything. I would suggest that you keep contacting facebook and be patient. Perhaps, you could ask to talk to a supervisor to escalate your problem so that they fix it faster.
I am assuming that English isn't your native language based on your wording. Perhaps the facebook staff are a little confused by what your problem is because of the way you write. You might want to find someone who is a better at writing in English and ask them to help you write your message to Facebook, so they understand what the problem is.
Best of luck. Julie Kadas A few questions:. I ask so that I can give you the best answer for your issue. Elijah Swartz I don't know why you would want to do this, unless you are going to use the Windows 7 key on a different computer. Anyways, yes you can. If compatibility is not an issue for you, then you may want to consider making the switch. We will continue to offer this service after June 18 for as long as Microsoft supports the program. We cannot ship XP systems outside of the downgrade program after June Check out www.
If not, perhaps you have an XP disc that came with another computer. If all else fails, you can always buy a copy of Windows XP on Ebay. Just be sure it's a legal, licensed copy.

This article was posted by Bob Rankin on 16 Oct Posted by: Craig Golby 11 Aug Something very bizarre has happenned. Laptop running quite satisfactorily in Vista last night was shut down at about midnight.
Booted up this evening and it came up in XP. I don't believe for one minute that we didnt do something, but I have no idea what. Its the wifes laptop, she hasnt installed anything, wouldnt know how and I dont give her those permissions, but that doesnt mean that she didnt select something on boot up.
It has brought forward network connections, but has lost email profiles and files etc. Any ideas what happenned and how I can get back to Vista?? Maybe she just hit the wrong button during startup.
Posted by: Nish Rana 10 Sep Posted by: haseeb 11 Sep Posted by: sbrobbs 05 Oct Hi, I bought a second hand Alienware Aurora M laptop with vista home premium already on it. Wanted to install xp pro on a new gb hardrive. Before doing this contacted alienware support they said I need to change some bios settings but would not tell me what as they did not support second hand systems.
Posted by: sbrobbs 09 Oct Hi ED, Did try it it seemed to install fine until I came to update the drivers. I've never seen this before. I also tried to run a diagnostic program to tell me what was on my system but all it did was open a black window for a split second and then nothing but this worked fine on my desktop.
Posted by: Raj 18 Oct Posted by: Barry 02 Dec I could not get XP to boot up and making that one change fixed my problem. You da man! Posted by: Cat Cooter 11 Feb I havce Vista on a Dell inspiron and hate it. Nothing but issues. I have all my music stored on an external seagate drivce and can unplug it but will it still work right? We can also copy everything off my computer and save it to a harddrive to reinstall, pictures etc.
Will this work? FInal problem. I have a Seagate 1. It was working fine. I downloaded many anime full series on it and used it for back up then it quit doing the back ups. Next it said there was new software.
