Okay, I have Vista on my laptop and my desktop. I HATE IT. I want XP back. I downloaded the .iso file for XP; but apparently Vista is not compatible with my DVD driver software, because it is disabled. There is no update on the Sonic website that I wouldn't have to pay for; and I can't afford to buy it. Without the software I cannot burn the CD necessary to revert back to XP.

Does anybody out there know of a website where I can get XP and NOT have to burn it to disk? I will be posting a wanted on Freecycle; but I'm not holding out hope, if these people are smart they won't let go of it in favor of Vista (terrible platform, almost worse than Windows ME). Or; does anybody out there know of a free software program that will CORRECTLY burn the XP .iso file to CD so I can reinstall it after reformatting? I can burn on my laptop; but even if I do that the computer STILL can't find the program to open the file. Please help me, Vista seems to have kidnapped my computers. Thanks!

well, i've played the game before on this computer, downloaded for free. Got my full free hour and 5 minutes per execution. Game plays fine, no problems with anything... except the non-compatability must be the reason that i have to re-download the game every time i want to play it. (re-install, i guess).

i'd like to buy it, but i dont want to have to reinstall every time once i've bought it! any suggestions? Yahoo!'shelp menu didnt have anything on it i could find...
