IE frequently crashes since downloading SP2 on my XP machine

Help! After downloading SP2, my IE browser crashes when most pop-ups occur,
even with the pop up blocker turned "off." I receive an error message
window entitled "MS Visual C++ Runtime Library" and the message itself states
"Abnormal Program Termination" and kicks me out of IE altogether! I am very
frustrated , since it impacts both business and pleasure use of my PC at
home. It NEVER did this prior to downloading SP2...can I uninstall this
thing?

Service Pack 2 can be uninstalled by going to the Control Panel>Add/Remove
Programs. There are specific instructions for preparing your system for
installing SP2 on the Windows Update website. You can't just install this
update willy-nilly. It makes major changes to your system and has some
prerequisites for installation.
