Does anyone know if it is possible? I have build 5384. I was wondering because the IE beta 2 taht comes with it is so slow for me it is painful. Any ideas on how to fix that if Vista cant come off?

Thanks

Use Firefox instead? Sorry, didn't mean to be glib, but that's probably what I would do until I found an answer, or was able to upgrade to the next beta release. In the meantime, though, we'll all try to get a better answer for you.

added: As far as I know, you can't just revert back to XP. You can however, "start over", but you'll lose everything. To do so, boot from your xp cd and delete the partition when the drive/partition screen comes up.

not so fast Batman - i am trying to do that but when you boot from the XP setup disk and run setup it won't allow you to activate any of the options. I have tried on 2 machines and in both cases the keyboard doesnt work so you can't accept the option to install a fresh copy of XP , or R to repair or F3 to quit...any other suggestions?

Just one... connect your keyboard to PS2. USB is not universal inside os setups.

most 2006 Dells only have USB keyboard ports - ps2 is being phased out. So not possible!

So you are saying you have no PS2 port, or that what I am saying is wrong? I would prefer you to try my suggestion before panning it I certainly can think of more stuff to help you, but one thing at a time!
