I'm not messed up anymore, sorry about that. But I have a legit question now :o!
I'm currently running Vista Premium but my harddrive is filling up like a gay bar in San Francisco. And for some reason it's running so slow and shitty on my laptop and making my laptop extremely hot and i fear that my laptop will die anytime soon.
What i'm wondering is, should I just reinstall VP or go down to XP or even linux?
I don't really play much PC games or program games anymore, just use a few programs, them being:
*Microsoft Office
*Firefox
*Email
*Guitar Pro
*Photoshop
I mean, sometimes I like to play a round or two of TF2, but I wouldn't die if I couldn't play it.
Help me please, eb!

update laptop bios
update drivers (graphics mostly)
download windows updates (sp1)
or just go xp since you don't really need vista anyway.

well I was using some hacked drivers from laptopvideo2go because dell still has old as shit drivers for my card on this (8400m GS), and they've been working decently but I think it overheats the laptop :/
How hard is it to downgrade to XP?
-
not hard at all unless dell doesn't have xp drivers for your laptop, that could be a real pain, no?
my friend said the same thing once about his hacked acer's laptop graphics card driver, the fans were pretty loud.

They actaully have every drive in XP so thats awesome. I guess the battle now is finding a copy of XP

haha I would download it but I dont have any cd-rs or dvdr's :(
