I want to downgrade from vista to XP.

How do I know if the hardware that was once running on Vista will work on XP? Hardware being graphics card, wireless card, sound card, ram, and etc.

I have a HP Pavillion DV6000 laptop.

I'm planning to build a new computer with 4gig ram and I'm wondering how to install them. I know for Vista that you have to install 2gigs first then install the OS then install the next 2gigs to get the full 4gigs. Is XP like this or can I just put all of it in at once? Help, never used XP in my life.

Can't access the internet, have a guest account..
I tried the safe mode but it still asks for a stupid password!
I have no OS cd too.

(My mom put a password and she forgot it?) Now I'm in charge I don't know what to do!!)

I'm using the verizon security suite and out of no where it wasn't coming up. So I did a system restore and that got it back but now it came up with a message saying that the anti spyware couldnt start and doesnt even give me that option to turn it on, its not even there any more. The antivirus and firewall seem to be fine, its only the anti spyware. How do I fix this? And are there any sites I can go to that are free and SAFE that will scan my computer for spyware and delete it??

Well if your pretty good at computer stuff,Its alot like "WinFixer"
and if your not. Happy to Explain it. Its a virus that is unseen and undetected by most virus scanners only certain ones work. The virus is Mal-ware and installs itself and cannot be seen by the user. Its Pop-Ups that lie and try to say that computer has a
virus. It can open IE without the users permission.
And it spreads Mal-ware throughout the system until it is fixed.
Its is very annoying and controlling. I ususally can just run my Norton Antivirus and its gone but not that easy. My computer friends arent getting anywhere. Plus ive tryed spybot,spydoctor,AVG,vundo fix,and other programs. none work. Please help me with this issue and most of this stuff comes from WIKIPEDIA so. PLEASE HELP ME IVE EVEN CALLED SYMANTEC!!!!!

I know there is some sort of program, but I recently bought a MacBook and I have had a wireless router and I'm figuring out i don't need a password to get on it. I think you need wireless network security to get a password right? What would be some good software options that are not expensive or better yet free? Please and thank you

okay. my camera is a Fujifilm Finepix F480. my laptop is an HP Pavilion dv2310us Entertainment Notebook PC. i downloaded the camera's cd into my computer, did everything the directions told me to do, updated all of the software onto my computer from the camera's website and for windows in general, made sure the device driver software was working and updated

but

for some reason, everytime i try to plug my camera into my computer, it says its going to download everything and work, but then it says it failed because it says "Device driver software was not successfully installed". it also says, however, that the Samsung HM160JI SCSI Disk Device is installed properly...

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO :(

does anyone have any idea what i should do?
