Hi,

I tried installaing SP2 in windows XP. However, I couldn't
find a way to uninstall it as it does not appear in
add/remove programs. I also did not activate windows
restore. Anyone have suggestions to uninstall the service
pack?

Regards,

If you go to Add \ Remove programs ensure the "Show Updates" is checked.

This will allow you to remove SP2 (beta) for XP

Cheers,
Fras

It's beta software you know ... did the instructions indicate that it
was un-installable? have you consulted the support resources dedicated
to this service pack beta testing?

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Be sure you've placed a
checkmark in the "Show Updates" option at the top.
