Better Is XP is better or Vista

Vista/7 is the better choice.

A lot of your newer computers with Vista or Windows 7 do not have driver support for XP. This means that you won't have full-functionality with XP installed. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix this. You may attempt to find out the exact model number of your board to attempt to install the individual drivers.
However, my recommendation is to either install back to Vista or upgrade to 7. Honestly, 7 works better than Vista and is, I think, better than XP.
Hope this helps.

Set BIOS to boot from CD, insert XP install CD and follow directions.

Hi,

Windows Xp and Vista are 2 different Operating system. If we compare both, XP is still far better than Vista. But, if we talk about security, Vista is more secure than XP.

So, it depends on user to user.

I would still prefer XP.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

the problem that this kinds of laptops only it allow u to install Vista and any OS which higher than Vista like windows 7 try to download windows 7 it is better than xp and vista

If you're having Vista, you will need 1gb RAM minimum. Vista is resource intensive, concentrated more on graphics, and a lot of Hardware compatibility issues. Windows XP is fine and better as of now which runs great with 1GB of ram and a pretty processor of 2.0 ghz ...If you think of speeding up ur lappy better go for XP .increasing ur RAM will increase the number of apps that you can run productively at a time.

The Compaq Presario 5000 is not powerful enough to run Vista so XP is your best bet. I assume you have the standard 512MB RAM which will be fine for XP Once you outgrow that you'll need to go for more powerful hardware. By that time the new Windows 7 should have been officially released.

yes?
i think vista is worst
i prefer XP
but, actually the vista system is better than XP system it's has higher techonolgy updated and support newest directX
but it's heavier than XP

Minimum requirements

• Windows XP/Vista
• 512MB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
• 2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
• Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X850 or better)

its better not to change your os, try to work on vista its more user friendly than xp, though you will have difficulty in starting, but sooner you will overcome it
