    My install of the Vista Business edition crashed my computer. I tried to reinstall, but the PID key would not activate again. It's been 

    weeks since it ran all the way to the start menu.

     

    How do I edit files to reinstall Vista, or replace it with XP Pro?

    Unfortunately, this forum is dedicated to Vista validation issues only so we don't have the information you need.  For other issues you can look here Microsoft Product Support, contact Product Support Services, or try posting in the Vista newsgroups http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx

    Thanks!

    I found my own error with the Vista Business installation.

     

    While installing the business edition of

    Vista, I used a PS2 mouse. When I went back to work on the computer I inadvertantly plugged in a usb corded mouse.

     

    It took all that time for me to discover the program didn't recognize the USB mouse! I switched the mouse, and all is well now.

     

    I hate to admit this dimb error, but hope that it helps others with the same problems.
