You don't, you are very happy to use the Newest Microsoft (R) Technology for Displaying Overly Active and Epilepsy-Inducing Images.

In other words, M$ won't let you. The only real way is by either removing it the hard way (removing each reference to it and manually installing an older version) or the easy way (full format, believe me, it's easier).

Hmmm... thought so. Any way of getting it to stop blocking non-WHQL certificated drivers? My soundcard doesn't work simply because DirectX doesn't want it to work. Drivers themselves work fine, music-part in DirectX works fine, but under Sound it says the drivers aren't supported by WHQL, so it can't run them.

Ack, even worse. Had to help a friend install XP once, and it kept asking for a username and a password. During installation, I wrote it down letter per letter, caps included, for both the username and the password, but it never worked. Formatted the HD and started over with the installation, 'bout five or six times, but always failed. No way I'm going to put that crap on me too.

Anyways, formatted my HD again yesterday and installed Win98SE again. It's still running (while I'm home now, and that comp's in my student room) on the certificate label thingy. I forgot to write that down before whiping my disk >_<
