Windows ME / Windows 2000 Professional

Hi,

I've just 'upgraded' a PC from Windows ME to Windows 2000 Professional,
following the upgrade options on the 2000 Pro that will (allegedly) give me
the option to go back to Windows ME. Now that nothing works on the PC any
longer, I wish to return to Windows ME. But I can't find anything about how
to do this. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Keith

Windows ME came out before Windows 2000. That is why there is no supported
"upgrade" path between ME and Win 2k.

To go from Win ME to Win 2k requires a format and reinstall.
