'spare' SP2 stuff after uninstall

[k2lim]

Hi all,

I downloaded Win XP SP2, had some problems with it and
decided to do an uninstall. After I uninstalled, the
following were still listed:

Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329048 for more info]
Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329115 for more info]
Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329390 for more info]
Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) [see Q329834 for more info]

Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q322011
Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q328310
Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q329170
Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q329441

Windows XP Hotfix (SP2) Q817287

Do I leave these alone or unstall them as well? Thanks
for any info. Am not a tech person and just want to get
my PC working properly.

Regards,

kk

Rather than checking each individual update, if you have a System Restore
point prior to the SP2 installation, might be simpler to use that, to remove
any doubts

Leave 'em alone. Those are all post-SP1 updates that were
included in SP2, but made available before SP2 was
released as a whole.

For a start I'd say 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' - if you're not
getting any more problems then leave them. If you are though the only
safe way is to check on the MS update page & see what each hotfix is
for - you'll probably find some of them apply to your system & you can
remove the ones which don't (though I've always understood hotfixes are
particular to the installed system)
