Downgrading from WM 5 to WM 2003

I am wondering how to downgrade my x50v from the Windows Mobile 5 upgrade. So far everything I have done has been un-successful. Also , when I bought my Axim did it come with a Windows Mobile 2003 CD-ROM? I cannot seem to find it and am thinking it might have never come...

Thanks.

The downgrade utility is available on the Dell site.

Just run the downgrade pack and it will restore 2003; I had alot of problems with WM5; nearly killed my Ax. Then I ran the downgrade pack and it worked and used a Sprite backup to restore the 2003 settings etc. I am very happy with 2003SE; WM5 will be a nice OS when it works but at present it seems very patchy.

best of luck with the retsoration; if you have any trouble finding the file let me know and I can email the version I used just PM me - its a big file
