Downgrading

[A1xx]

Alright so i want to downgrade my windows 7 to xp i have my xp disk what do i do now

also the reason is because the ram required for widows 7 is too high, and my computer would black out due to that

 

[A1xx]

I cant click install windows xp

A1xx, you will have to wipe your disk clean anyway to install XP, so maybe it is better to format it before.

Now, before you do it, can you give us your computer specs? Maybe it was some other problem, Windows 7 can run with low memory (although it won't be a stellar performance). Have you looked into this tutorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...2mb-ram.html?filter[3]=Installation and Setup

Yes but they are not posted correctly. Do it once correctly and they will follow you on every thread and post. Click on user control panel on top. Then look for specs on the left.

If you have the full retail version of XP, just do a clean install, using the format option.

You can not install XP over 7 from within windows.

You need to boot from the XP disc, and do a clean instal.
Format (erase)the HardDrive, then instal XP.
