Hi,
I boght a laptop with a Vista system on it from a shop but later i decided
to install a XP on it and now some of my devices isnt working properly, so is
there a chance i can download a Vista cd from internet and install it again
on my laptop???? I have a valid CD-key for vista and XP so there should be no
problem with product validation

Contact the shop that sold you the laptop and
ask them for the Windows Vista recovery disc.
Windows Vista cannot be downloaded from the 'net.

No, there is no legitimate download available.

Unless the shop sells major OEM such as HP, Dell, Compaq, Gateway etc,
they should have provided you with restore media.
Contact them and ask about restoring the computer to original new
condition.
Also check you manual, the answer may be there.
