Hi, I need to downgrade to XP home from xp pro because of a game bug. Can anyone please help me to fix this? It says the setup cannot continue. And there is no option to upgrade. Rob
I don't know that you can. I know it sounds painful, but you are best off doing a complete OS reinstall - which inherently means re-installing all of your software. You could do a multi-boot and still retain your current install. I'd suggest vmware, but it's not a good solution for gaming unfortunately. What game is it that works with XP Home and doesn't work with XP Pro?
I also agree, I don't think it's possible to downgrade from pro to home. This is something you would need to contact Microsoft about.
A game bug? Win XP Pro is the same as home version with additional functionality. I would be consulting Microsoft about your settings. Col
Format your harddrive and then install XP home. OR simply put Home disc in and during setup chose " New insallation and format C drive " That will do it for you
yeah, i also wouldn't see the point or the benefit of doing it, like the other person said same thing but with added things
partition your hard drive with a new partition and then install Home on the new partition, that way you can leave Pro intact... but you'd need a Home CD, you can't 'downgrade' so far as I know!
You'll have to just reinstall everything i'm afraid. I've had the problem before, as you'll need to get a home cd as well.
I already have the home CD. I have just got a seagate 320GB exturnal hard drive to backup my data, so i am good atm. Rob
