Sorry. You'll have to do a clean install. There is no way to "downgrade" and keep everything that was there in Vista.

As for stopping the 2 hour shutdown, there's no way to stop it except for purchasing Windows 7 or reinstalling Vista.

Vista was never installed on the W7 trial system. could i then downgrade to Vista from W7 trial and keep data?

thanks,
billy

If you have installed more than 4GB RAM, 32 Bit OS wont show it.
Do you have legitimate copy of Vista 32bit??

You have to fromat C: drive, after that you can install Vista.
Before doing clean install, Back up files.

Hope these reviews will explain win 7 advantages over Vista
