Not to be rude, but your first mistake was attempting to upgrade Win9x to
XP.
MSDE installed under Win9x is a completely different animal than an
installation on the NT style operating systems. With Win9x there are no
service applications so MSDE runs as a standard application when the system
starts up. When you upgrade your OS to XP there is no magical conversion of
the MSDE installation to it running as a service. Your best bet is to backup
your databases and then manually uninstall MSDE. Microsoft has an article on
how to do this at:

After uninstalling MSDE re-install it and restore your databases.
