Hi

You should find a SP2 uninstall entry in Add/Remove Programs.


The following command will also start the uninstall program if it
is available:

%windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spunins t.exe

(run it e.g. from Start/Run)


Also, if you have a Dell Dell Inspiron 1150 or 2650, you might get a
slow running system after installing SP2, take a look at this thread
for more on this:

had discussed the Add/Remove programs, w/ another geek and have already done
so, I have my machine back.

Don't know if I will try that again (SP2), can't see any advantage on my
other 2 computers with it, we use a router so don't rely completely on the
firewall..Norton seems to work OK

Any thoughts...
