I have Home edition with service pack 2, a valid copy how do I uninstall proffessional and install home edition without losong everything. It wont work by just putting in the home edition cd and installing it cuz they are 2 different versions of windows. I want to do this bc the other day I went to d-load msn messenger love and it overwrighted my old messenger and the new one wont work bc I need and update for windows which I cant get b/c it isnt a valid copy on my com. _________________ "Cursed is the ground for your sake.
