Im not going to get into an arguement over the internet(the most pointless thing since unsliced bread) but i still need something to run my computer! And i still need a way to use limewire without uninstalling Vista!

(My dad the dinosaur says he worked with DOS and he can assure you operating systems do make a difference! )

You know, I always thought that the internet was only second to the wheel as the best thing ever invented. For example, without the internet there would be no cheap or reasonable way we could communicate with this forum.

Plus, with all the information readily available on the internet it makes it more difficult for politicians (and their media friends) to lie to us, though some of them still try to.

And, like your dinosaur Dad, I too have worked with DOS and I do understand that having an O/S that takes care of all the hard things does make a difference but it is still the application that makes a PC worth having.

Anyway now to your problem, ask your Dad to install a second hard drive in your PC (a "D" drive), I would now suggest that your Dad makes your machine a dual boot machine with Vista on the "C" drive and XP in the "D". Install LW under XP on the "D" drive, this should now sort your problem out.

ummm....this probably won't work...you pretty much have to install the oldest OS first, then the newer one second...soooo, no matter what drive the OS's reside on (that makes no difference), you will need to wipe drives, install XP first, then install Vista...

I must admit, I did not realise it mattered which O/S was installed first only that certain procedures were followed.
