YW. If Vista isn't working out for you I would go to your computer vendors website and see if they have driver support for XP. If they do, reload Windows XP. I downgraded my notebook because Vista blows.

Have you tried Compatibility Mode in Vista? Have you checked to see if there is a updated version of the MCDST?

As for how do you wipe Vista...I know that we have several threads in the Read First topic about software to format drives.

GParted, Boot and Nuke, DBan, Acronis Disk Management among many more. Not to mention there is a format option on the XP Install cycle.

Well then you will have to install XP and then access their site.
