I recently installed windows 7 on my desktop. The problem is apparently the video card is not good enough because the resolution is stuck at 640 X 480 or something like that..aka the desktop is HUGE and annoying. I want to re-install XP however no matter how I restart the computer, change the boot order in BIOS to start from the disk, etc, the pc will NOT start up with the disk. When the computer boots and I click on my computer the disk shows up just fine with no problems. I can not just install XP from that because windows says that the version I have installed (7) is an better version or whatever so it will not allow me to do it that way. Does anyone know how I can possibly boot from a disc or what hardware may be messed up. It is not a legit copy of XP either. It is a downloaded ISO. I know the disk is not the problem because it will load up just fine on my other 2 pc's with XP on them. All I want to do is do a fresh install of XP and that is all. I do not want to keep windows 7 due to me needing to spend $ on a new graphics card or whatever it is.
