since you been running that and never had a single crash im guessing ill have to take your word for it.... now i have another problem i tried downgrading from vista to xp the problem is none of my drivers worked other than my dispay drivers my board is a P945GCNL. that board should be xp compatible the usb refuses to work the sound drivers refuse to install im using the drivers cd that came with the board . it just tells me after a while that(during installation) that it failed and the moment i re-install vista everything works fine
