Well if you had an /illegal/ key and were worried about your copy being deactivated as such, then you might go out and buy the cheapest copy you could find to replace it with (e.g. XP Home).
 
Afaik, you have to do a complete reinstall to go back to a lesser version.

Create a shortcut on your desktop to the file you wish to run.
Right click on it and choose properties. go to Compatibility mode tab.
I think you can figure out the rest!

why is this in feedback?
 
If you are having gaming problems, my friend once told me that if you delete all of your windows dir, msdos.sys, etc. and all of that on the C:\ and then installed DOS and THEN Windows 2000 and THEN Solaris, and THEN XP (any version), it fixes all gaming problems.
 
Trust me...I am the best computer student in my whole student.
 
LOL!!!

Also if you then format and install XP, any problems that you did have by installing every OS known to man (ie. none ) will be fixed
