open new project with the oldest version of Visual Studio

How I can open my project if I am getting this error?

"Unable to read the project file. This project was created with a newer
version of Visual Studio which in incompatible with your version. You can
only open this project with newer versions of Visual Studio."

Mike,

You cannot, in 2003 is a function to set it back to the older version,
however there I thought that there should be as well a tool on Internet,
maybe you can search for yourself for that.

The older version does not know the settings from the newer, so that cannot
be in the older version.

And when nothing is found than you can make an new project, delete the files
in that new project you do not need and copy just the files from the old
project and include them than in that new project.

I hope this helps?
