I have recently bought an Acer 9000 series laptop with Vista Preinstalled, within 6 days i had 2 reinstall windows due 2 multiple system crashes, plus 90% of my programmes aren't compatible and I have to buy a new printer as there are no vista drivers for my lexmark x-75. As a result of all this I am considering installing XP instead of Vista but I'm not sure if my laptop will support it, I imagine it would as it's an older operating system but need advice before i proceed, look forward to reading your replies.
