    Jennief,

    You would be buying only the replacement media from Lenovo, since the computer already came with the XP Home license.  Generally the major manufacturers charge less than $25 for replacement media for the Operating System that shipped with the computer, assuming they have it in stock.

    If you use the replacement media, it will put a fresh installation of XP Home back onto your Lenovo computer.  That process destroys all data on the hard diks sobe sure to backup anything you can't afford to lose.

    On the other hand, if you liked Vista, you may want to stay with Vista.  Let's talk about the installation of Vista that is now on the computer.

    You wrote that you purchased a copy of Vista and the DVD had the hologram and you received a Certificate of Authenticity.  The installation of Vista currently on the computer is Vista Ultimate and the license type is OEM SLP.  OEM SLP licenses are licenses for installations of Windows that come pre-installed on computers exclusively from major manufacturers, such as Dell, Lenovo, HP, Sony, Toshiba, etc.  The CoA that accompanies an OEM SLP license will be the type that is supposed to be affixed to the computer case (just like the one on your computer you have now for XP Home) and the name of the major manufacturer is printed on the second line of the CoA.

    If you purchased the Vista DVD directly from Lenovo, then perhaps the circumstances of your situation would make sense.  However, if you purchased your Vista DVD from some other source, then the authenticity of the Vista DVD and its CoA is suspect due to these circumstances.

    Did you purchase the Vista DVD from a recognizable retail or online reseller, or was it purchased from some other source?

    Jennief,

    Look on your Lenovo (if a laptop, on the bottom) and psot back telling us what version and edition of Windows is listed on the Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).  DO NOT post the Product Key printed on the CoA.

    Also, this entry in the mgadiag report says that your installed Office is nongenuine:
    Office Status: 114 Blocked VLK 2
    Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage - 114 Blocked VLK 2

    Please uninstall this nongenuine version as soon as possible.

    Jennief,

    The only way to remove the installation of Vista you have right now is to reformat the hard disk drive.  There is no uninstallation for the copy of Vista currently on the computer.

    Please be sure to backup and offload any valuable data from the computer because a reformat will destroy all user data.

    Jennief,

    Thanks for responding with the requested info.

    As shown by the Certificate of Authenticity on the computer, your Lenovo is properly licensed to run Windows XP Home Edition.

    Your Lenovo computer is required by Microsoft to ship with some kind of method for the end user to reinstall the Operating System.  Such method could be one or more of the following:

    1.  Hidden recovery partition on the hard disk, accessed at boot up by special keystrokes.  Note that the process of installing Vista may have destroyed this hidden partition.

    2.  Manufacturer-supplied Recovery/Reinstallation CD/DVD included with the rest of the materials shipped with the computer.  Did your Lenovo come with these CDs/DVDs?

    3.  A utility accessible from the Start menu that takes the information in the hidden recovery partition and, using CDs/DVDs supplied by the customer, makes the Recovery/Reinstallation CDs/DVDs.  The customer is instructed upon first running the computer that they need to perform this action.  Did your Lenovo come with this, and if so, did you make the Recovery CDs/DVDs?

    If you do not have any of the methods above, your best course of action is to contact Lenovo tech support or customer service and inquire about purchasing Recovery/Reinstallation CDs/DVDs for your exact model of Lenovo.  Using the exact Recovery CDs/DVDs has the benefit of insuring that the right drivers and settings are installed along with the Lenovo-modified version of XP that originally came on the computer.

    Thanks for that :)  If I do as suggested and pay to upgrade etc that should make my pc work ok as I had installed vista because internet explorer was always having a problem and as I didn't have the original disc for xp i had purchased the other (which I had thought was genuine as it had the hologram on the disc and certificate of authenticity etc).
