    can i go back to XP?

    Hi there,

    I installed windows 7 on top of XP, I noticed my XP is still in windows.old.
    Is there anyway of reverting back? probably not i guess.... let me know thanks!

    ps i love windows 7, i have it on my laptop, my main issue for my desktop is that it wont let you make the fonts that small!

    Ben

    Yes

    All you have to do is rename program files.old just take out the .old. But not for windows just program files. boot from your xp cd it will find the previous version of windows and you can repair it. If you don't rename program files first your 3rd party software will be all messed up.
