How do I uninstall Windows Vista without a cd?

computer info vista image

~

I bought this computer with Vista already installed on it, it came with no discs of any kind, and I would like to install XP Pro over it. When I simply try to boot from my XP Pro cd it takes several minutes before saying it's going to restart and then giving me a blue screen. Any help/advice at all would be appreciated!

Answer
You can't install xp over Vista; the oldest operating system has to be installed first. What you can do is a. Buy a new hard drive or b. format the drive and install xp ( not recommended; you will lose your preinstalled drivers ) or c. create a new hard drive partition, install xp on that, and from xp, delete the vista partition, then grow the xp partition. The first is easiest, but has the same shortcomings as the second, but the third is hard to do correctly and may render your hard drive unusable. Ask a tech person for more in-depth info.

How to enable reading Russian text in COD4?

v!Cla!r$hA

Theres a lot of Russians playing Call of Duty 4. I can speak fluent Russian but I cant read what theyre saying because when they chat the letters are just some computer gibberish (âé÷òÃ) none of which are Russian letters.
So how can I read what theyre saying without changing all my settings to Russian (I still want English as my main language for the computer.)
Other info: Im using Windows Vista and my COD4 game is version 1.7. Thanks!

Answer
You can't... Make sure that you purchase the new game in Russian or change the language for your computer...

Good luck!
