That is normal; when Entourage v.X came out, Entourage 2004 did not even
exist, which is why v.X cannot import a 2004 database. Unfortunately, going
back to v.X is not easy at all; you will need to export and import all your
data manually. It would be quite helpful to know which kind of e-mail
account you are using, as IMAP accounts are very easy to set up in a
different e-mail client. Generally speaking, many of the topics covered on
this page should apply to your case as well, despite the fact that the
article was written for Mac to Windows switchers:
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/cross_platform/mac_win.html>

My recommendation would be to use Paul Berkowitz's AppleScripts
"Export-Import Entourage", which you can find here:
<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/exportimportentourage1.3.10.html>

Note that this is shareware. If none of the above solutions work for you,
post back, and we'll help you some more. One more thing: Entourage v.X does
not have the Project Center feature, so you won't be able to use your
projects any longer. Downgrading is always so much harder than upgrading...

Goodness - why would you want to downgrade from 2004 to X? You
realize 2004 is much newer than X, right?

You can import from an older version to a newer version.

OE to Entourage 2001
OE to Entourage X or Entourage 2004
Entourage 2001 to Entourage X or Entourage 2004

You cannot import from a newer version to an older version. e.g. Entourage X
to OE or Entourage 2001 using Entourage.

You cannot import from the same version of Entourage. e.g. Entourage X to
Entourage X or Entourage 2001 to Entourage 2001. You can use the MBOX method
or the Export-Import Scripts to transfer mail from one identity to another.
