Sorry, didn't mean to sound insulting. I do have a Windows XP-Pro but it is for an already activated system in our office. Per MS upgrade rules, to downgrade to XP-Pro from Windows 7, the steps are very unclear and I was hoping that someone in here had overcome this hassle and had a more clear...

Simple, XP-Pro is no longer in production and so what is out in the market is either too expensive or could be a fake. So, since we'll be using more computers in the future, I need to know how to accomplish this since more and more systems will be required by our shop.

Thanks again Vacunita. I am the computer manufacturer. Reason for the downgrade is that some of the software and hardware being used is set to run on XP-Pro and since it, XP is going out of production, we are trying to take advantage of this Downgrade Rights over looking all over the web for...

Thank you for the reply Robert. This is what I'm working on now, I have removed Windows 7 from the system's hard drive, I'm installing Windows XP-Pro now and when it comes time to activate it, I plan on using the Windows 7 OEM number, hopefully this will trigger some sort of issue with it and...

Turkbear, if you can't add to the solution, please don't add to the confusion. Per MS website, some Windows 7 version come with "downgrade rights" which means you can buy Windows 7 but have your machine run on XP-Pro. The process of how to accomplish this is what I need help with, not your car...

Well that sounds simple enough but I have a Windows 7 Pro CD not an XP Pro. To do this you mentioned, I'd have to get an XP CD. Why bother with Windows 7, which I paid for if I also have to buy an XP OS?

I am trying to downgrade my Windows 7 Pro system to XP-Pro. I know it can be done cause we got three Dell PC in our office with that set up. They have a Windows 7 sticker but run on full XP-Pro and I don't mean XP "mode". Can some one direct me to a site that can give me step-by-step...

Thanks guys, can't do "about this mac" because it won't boot/start. Not sure of a DVD present on this system. Just found a site where you can do "single user start". Got some reading to do there.

Ok, I got one more question on this G4 subject, how can I tell the hardware in an Ibook G4? Is there a BIOS screen like on PC's? Some guy is selling another G4 but won't boot and he does not know what hardware is in it?

Thanks for the reply. The seller of the Snow Leopard I mentioned just emailed me and said his version would not work on my machine. That it was for Intel running Macs. My system as a PowerPC G4 1.2 running 1.33GHz. I tried update Safari and that too failed. Same as Firefox.

Maybe I need to upgrade the entire OS X on this ibook. Will a G4 Ibook work with OS-X 10.6.3? Someone is selling it on CL near me and if it would work, I'd give it a try?

Yes, it doesn't do that. How would I update Safari? I tried installing firefox and it too would not install. Just weird. Then again, I'm a PC guy trying to Mac here. That could be the whole problem?

Ok, this is what I did instead, Using another PC, I went to both sites, downloaded the installer files on to a flashdrive, brought this flashdrive to my ibook and ran the programs from there. Flash seemed to have installed, not the other program. I get the message again that the file was...

Hey Vacunita, thank you for coming to my rescue again. I went to the flash site mentioned and I can't get beyond step 1. Selecting the OS for my ibook. Just sits there. Then I went to Perian.org but can't get that since my OS is 10.3.9. Next I'll try the apple.com/downloads. Thank you all...

Need someone's help. Got an Ibook on CL and works fine but won't play videos from like Youtube or any webnews outlet. I plays DVDs and other MPG's and stuff like that but like in Youtube, when I click on the clip I want to watch, Safari just closes down. I have updated all program software...

Hi guys, its me again almost with the same question. I now got a Panasonic Toughtbook running XP-Pro, as it was purchased but on the bottom of it there is a Windows 7 MS sticker. XP does not look like the Windows 7 mode I talked about earlier. Is it possible that XP-Pro was installed here yet...

I did as you said and now, upon power on, the system logs first into Win7 and with-in 3 seconds, it launches XP Mode. Perfect solution. Thanks Vacunita.

Yes, Vacunita, that is what I'd like to do. Can you direct me into putting your idea into action? Not sure myself if I'll do it right and screw up this thing even worse.

Thanks Vacunita So you mean to tell me that I can't tweek Win7 to launch XP Mode after it, Win7, has loaded?

HI, I got a system with Windows 7 and have downloaded and installed XP-mode in it; I can access this XP-Mode just fine from my Win 7 desktop,however, I'd like to boot right into this XP-Mode every time I power the system. Is this possible? Can any one give me some direction? Thanks.
