Probably not. Why would you want to downgrade to ME in the first place.

You should be able to get the software off of the CD. Most system restore CD's have actual install files on the CD itself. You should explore the CD, and try to find the setup.exe file located in the directory for the CD burning software. If you can't find it, there are several free aps on the web that should work just as well and maybe better. Just takes a little looking.

Ok Compaq restores are a bit tricky. They don't name the files as normal what you have to do is find the file on the disk with all of the bitmaps on it the bitmaps are numbered find the bitmap that is for the software you want and copy the number of the bitmap then go to the folder that corresponds to that number and the software is in that folder. Now the problem is it is compressed and I have forgotten how to decompress it but the information is on the cd..... Best bet do a full restore with the Compaq software and then use the ME upgrade....
