History of Service Pack Installations

[LDMM]

Is there a way to find out the history of service pack installation dates?
In other words, I am trying to find out what the initial SP version on this
PC was? When was it upgraded? Another question I have is once SP2 is
installed on a PC can it go back to SP1 by something a user did?

Thanks

Sure there is. Find the c:\windows\ServicePackFiles and open it. Now right
click on the I386 folder and then click properties. Look at the date it was
created. As for the second question, yes it is possible to remove SP2 and
revert to previous SP's . TTFN.

usually you can uninstall SP2 from add/remove programs in control panel

Thank you for the tip. However, can you tell me how SP2 could have been
changed back to SP1 without using 'Add remove programs'?. I have been
accused of screwing up my PC. I have an Associates in Computer Information
Systems / Networking. One of my coworkers is trying to tell me that I
changed my PC back to SP1. I told him that I just happened to notice that my
PC had SP1 because I was having all kinds of problems with my PC (it was slow
and I was having problems running certain applications). So, my first
thought was to check the basics; hard-drive space, memory, and see if my PC
was up to date on SP's.

Also, the method you previously mentioned does not tell me the 'History' of
SP installations. My PC was just upgraded to SP2 and I want to know if it
was EVER SP2 and when it was changed back to SP1.
