WinME to Win98SE ?

[senior guy]

My son's PC with WinME is a pain in the butt - every month he seems to have a new problem. Well, I have MS' Win98SE Upgrade CD, so I was wondering if I should try to 'downgrade' his WinME to Win98SE? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I doubt that you can do that. If you can get your hands on a Windows 2000 Upgrade disk, it would be much recommended to upgrade to that instead. Windows ME sucks!

I've never heard of downgrading, but I would doubt it can be done.. although, format c:\ works well.

from what I know you only need a win95 disk to use a win98upgrade. I don't think it will let you go the other way with it though sorry to say

Assuming that senior guy's son has personal data/entries on his C-drive, formatting it is not something he should do without a good backup, and planning!
