And you'll hate windows xp (or any other OS for that matter) if you reinstall one, why? coz it's a goddamn bare OS. You need to reinstall everything else if you install a NEW Operating System.

you need w7 drivers for everything (and 32 / 64 bit, to be precise, depending on which version you installed)

far from true

ive used XP drivers on win7 before.
you just need to know what you need and how to use them :-P (but it isn't recommended. 1/3 can cause random BSOD's cause the drivers just aren't made for win7 )

at least gpu & bluetooth peripherals, some benchmark software didn't like 32-bit drivers from xp when I upgraded :\
just a thought as to why his gpu isn't working

I suppose this can be considered a hilarious case of user error and a user trying to pin blame on the operating system for their mistake. Tongue

I'll go into more detail later regarding what supposedly went wrong as I don't feel well enough to type out a lengthy response. I just hope that you aren't serious and are just being sarcastic lol.
