RE: SP2 - System Restore / Need to Unistall

Hi Michael,
I had installed SP2 a couple of days ago and had connection problems and so
I decided to Do System Restore also..now my computer sings like it did
before..
I went to Add/Remove programs and I shuddered too at all the programs it
might effect by removing and decided not too. So, it still sits there, but my
pc runs beautifully without it for now..I think I will wait til things get
fixed.
I take all the precautions that are available but this one will just have to
wait .
I had placed a posting this morning here but I have not had any feed back as
of yet, i will keep checking back. I had read thru my Microsoft newsletter
that the programs it lists are programs that were installed after
installation of SP2. So , I am gonna keep reading up on it..

Whatever you do, DON'T use add/remove to get rid of SP2
after a system restore. I tried that and it rendered my
system unusable. Best option would be to use a restore
point BEFORE you downloaded SP2. Your PC will work fine
using the restore point SP2 created during the install
but it'll still be there - sort of.

Hi BP
Thanks from me, I will just leave it in add/remove programs, since my pc is
running like it did before SP2 .
Because Windows update is now showing I need to install SP2.. It can stay
there too.
Many thanks for responding.
